A Moody's report states US datacenter power consumption is projected to reach 426 terawatt-hours by 2030, nearly doubling the 2025 figure. This surge, driven by AI and compute demand, requires an estimated $110 billion in new generation resources. The report highlights that construction is outpacing grid capacity, causing delays of up to seven years due to permitting and equipment lead times.
