Data centers projected to consume 4x more electricity by 2035
New forecasting finds that data centers built through 2033 could collectively consume as much electricity as the entire country of India uses today, with total data center draw quadrupling by 2035. The projection lands the same week OpenAI announced Project Camellia in Effingham County, Georgia with explicit 'responsible energy' commitments — the energy story is now a siting-and-community-relations story. Compute cost curves for anyone running inference at scale are increasingly bounded by grid interconnect queues, not chip supply.
