Market intelligence firm Cleanview says 250 planned U.S. data centers would,
assuming typical 2/3 utilization, mean an average new center consumes enough
electricity to serve about 54,000 households. The projects would raise current
capacity of 13.2 GW by more than sevenfold, a scale equivalent to powering over
two‑fifths of U.S. households. Cleanview also estimates average next‑generation
data‑center power draw will be roughly 2.5x that of centers entering service in
2026.
