ERCOT Expects Tight Grid Conditions, Requests Conservation Today from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. CT
Source: ERCOT · Aug 30, 2023ERCOT said it was asking Texans to conserve electricity from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. CT because “operating reserves for ERCOT are expected to be low this evening” due to “a high level of unexpected thermal generation outages and forecasted low wind generation” (ERCOT, Aug. 30, 2023). ERCOT also said it “has obtained Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) enforcement discretion,” allowing generators to extend operations to help meet demand and maintain reliability.

Growing electricity demand creates urgent need for policy action, energy strategy
The U.S. National Power Demand Study, commissioned by the American Clean Power Association among other entities, noted that electricity demand from data centers could double or triple by 2028 due to AI-driven growth and other factors. The study emphasized the need for an additional 730 GW to 765 GW of renewables, along with improvements in energy efficiency and policy changes for faster permitting and grid connection. Notably, 8% of the energy demand could be met through expected efficiency savings over 2024 levels.

New Analyses Spotlight Massive Potential for Geothermal Powered Data Centers in the US
The Project InnerSpace launched a new data center module in its GeoMap™ tool that identifies the best locations for geothermal development in the United States and globally. This initiative aims to meet nearly two-thirds of the forecasted data center demand growth in the US, particularly in Texas and federal lands throughout the western United States. The research indicates that geothermal energy could fulfill the entire demand growth in 13 of the 15 largest data center markets by the early 2030s, significantly reducing energy costs. The report highlights that by utilizing geothermal power, data centers can also improve their operational efficiency, especially in cooling.

The data center decade has arrived
The United States is anticipating a 30% surge in power demand by 2050, primarily driven by the expansion of data centers and the adoption of electric vehicles. Enverus Intelligence Research (EIR) reported a projected 15.83% rise in total annual energy consumption through 2035. The technology sector is entering an unprecedented capital expenditures cycle, with hyperscalers expected to spend over $50 billion annually by the decade’s end. Notably, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) will host a significant data center facility totaling 2.2 GW by 2027.
