Energy demandElectricity demandClimate changeLimiting climate change requires a radical shift in energy supply and use. Because of time lags in capital investments, the political process, and the climate system, potential developments decades from now must be considered for energy policy decisions today...
Assuming the share of global activity in the U.S. remains at that rate, the EIA estimates electricity usage from Bitcoin mining based in the United States to range from 25 terawatt hours to 91 TWh. This estimate represents 0.6% to 2.3% of the national electricity demand in 2023, which was...
Last summer, U.S. electricity demand in the Lower 48 states was greatest at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on July 15, 2024, when it reached about 745 gigawatthours (GWh), based on data in our Hourly Electric Grid Monitor. In our analysis, we calculate each day’s peak according ...
Already at 9% of US generation, the report predicts that wind and solar will supply almost 30% of US electricity demand by 2026. “The Solar Energy Industries Association now expects utility-scale installations to average more than 21,000MW a year through 2026, with a peak of 25,000MW in...
Standards also reduce the amount of natural gas needed. By 2035, the electricity savings from existing standards will be enough to heat about one out of every three natural gas-heated homes. New standards for natural gas products would increase those savings substantially and would also save ...
9 Electricity demand in Texas is expected to increase in the next decade (1.5 to 2 percent a year driven by population growth), with much of this growth expected to be from renewable sources, though natural gas will still be a significant part of the energy mix.10 Managing in...
A key variable is overall electricity consumption. EIA is projecting that this will fall 1% in 2023 compared to 2022, due a mild summer. Then, consumption will increase 1% in 2024. If demand was rising more, then natural gas power would likely gain market share because of gas power plants...

The Model 3 and Model Y from Tesla, EV6 from Kia, Hyundai’s Ioniq 5, and Ford’s Mach-E represent a large majority of the EV volume in 2023. Growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to increase electricity demand and drive investments in electricity grid...
The second theme – electrification – impacts more than one sector. Fabrice de Sousa and Laura Corrieras at Indosuez label it a New Eldorado and believe it can shape the energy transition. By 2050, they said electricity output is expected to more than double and become greener, with 70 per...
