Is a U.S. power crisis unfolding?
By 2028, peak electricity demand is expected to exceed available generation: .
Peak demand: 1,160 GW
Available supply: 1,158 GW
By 2033, the gap could widen dramatically:
Peak demand: 1,229 GW
Peak supply: 1,128 GW
Potential shortfall: up to 175 GW
What's driving it? Explosive growth in Al data centers
Expansion of manufacturing
Rapid adoption of EVs
This surge is projected to strain emergency reserves, raising the risk of outages and blackouts.
The takeaway: the U.S. needs a lot more power, fast.
