Data Centers Gap Analysis

Summary

The United States is facing a significant challenge due to the rapid and uncertain electricity demand growth from large loads, especially data centers, which strains the existing grid infrastructure. This gap analysis aims to understand the grid and customer impacts of this growth and identify mitigation options for integrating these large loads, including recommendations for national laboratories to develop new datasets and improve modeling capabilities. The work is currently in progress, focusing on research and analysis to inform future grid planning and policy decisions.
