Description

Description

A report by Schneider Electric forecasts that the US electricity grid will be highly constrained and less stable by 2030 due to rising demand from datacenters and other sectors. The safety margins of the grid are expected to become increasingly thin, with some regions at higher risk of outages and limited ability to add new loads. The report highlights challenges in planning and permitting new generation and transmission capacity, and suggests that energy availability will become a dominant factor in datacenter site selection.
