A Berkeley Lab report on U.S. data center energy use says data centers consumed about 4.4% of U.S. electricity in 2023, with usage climbing from 58 TWh in 2014 to 176 TWh in 2023, largely due to AI server growth. It projects data center consumption to reach between 6.7 and 12% of U.S. electricity, or 325 to 580 TWh, by 2028.
