Data center grid debate centers on transmission constraints

DataBank argues that transmission, not data centers alone, is the real grid constraint in a broader discussion of electricity demand. This is commentary/analysis, not a new project announcement.

• The article says data centers are only one part of rising electricity demand alongside EVs, building electrification, manufacturing, and digital infrastructure; it stresses that transmission is the main bottleneck.
• It cites Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on more than 2 terawatts of U.S. interconnection queue capacity and notes Goldman Sachs projections that global data center power demand could rise 50% by 2027 and 165% by 2030.
