Description | US utilities plan to add 147 GW of new high-load capacity by 2035, with 116 GW already committed or under construction. The expansion targets high-intensity loads, with a strategic shift toward deregulated markets, especially in ERCOT and PJM regions. Nearly 60 GW is expected operational by 2030, and 93 GW by 2035. The project faces uncertainties in long-term visibility and timing of load activation, particularly due to data center developments. |
