Driven by new data centers and AI infrastructure, retail electricity sales to consumers across the United States are expected to grow at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in both 2025 and 2026.

This is a 175 percent jump compared to the 0.8 percent average growth during 2020–2024, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a July 31 analysis.
