Artificial intelligence is fueling a sharp rise in electricity and natural gas demand, with data centers, manufacturing, and logistics driving record energy use. Global data center consumption is projected to more than double by 2030, with AI operations quadrupling. In the U.S., demand is expected to nearly triple by 2035, pushing the power grid to its limits and creating price volatility. For businesses, this means higher energy bills and unpredictable costs. Companies in deregulated states can shop among suppliers, but the process is often complex and time-consuming. Bid On Energy offers a solution with its AI-powered bidding platform, allowing businesses to instantly compare quotes from multiple suppliers across deregulated states. The platform ensures transparent competition, helping organizations secure the lowest commercial electricity and natural gas rates.

LEWES, Del., Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries across the globe and now it's driving a major shift in commercial energy demand. As AI adoption accelerates across data centers, manufacturing, logistics, and enterprise automation, energy usage is skyrocketing.
AI Is A New Force in Electricity Demand - This surge is pushing electricity and natural gas demand higher, creating uncertainty in pricing and availability for businesses of all sizes.
Global Data Center Power Demand Set to Skyrocket as AI Accelerates Growth -
Energy analysts warn that worldwide electricity demand from data centers is on track to more than double by 2030, soaring to nearly 945 TWh. AI-driven operations alone are expected to quadruple within that same timeframe. Projections show global data center power use climbing 50% by 2027 and an astonishing 165% by 2030. In the United States, demand is expected to surge from 35 GW in 2024 to 78 GW by 2035, nearly tripling average hourly electricity consumption.
The U.S. power consumption overall is forecast to hit historic highs in 2026 and 2027, with usage topping 4,200 billion kWh each year. A major factor behind this unprecedented growth: the explosive rise of AI-powered data center activity.
AI Is Reshaping the Power Grid -
AI-driven technologies from machine learning models MLM and predictive analytics to robotics and automation, require massive amounts of energy to operate. High-density computing environments, including data centers, are consuming electricity at unprecedented levels, with demand projected to grow at double-digit rates for the next decade.
This rapid shift is placing new stress on the U.S. power grid. Grid operators are warning of narrowing reliability margins as fossil fuel plants are retired faster than renewable capacity is added. Businesses are already seeing the impact in fluctuating energy costs, volatile supply markets, and increased concern about long-term energy planning.
The Business Challenge: Rising Costs and Market Volatility -
For commercial enterprises, this presents a two-fold challenge:
- Higher baseline energy usage: Businesses deploying AI systems or relying on AI-powered services may face higher monthly energy bills than ever before.
- Unpredictable pricing: Market volatility, grid pressures, and regulatory changes can make it difficult for businesses to predict or control energy expenses.
This surge in AI-driven demand is reshaping energy markets:
- Businesses in deregulated states could benefit from the ability to shop across multiple suppliers, but comparing offers manually is time-consuming and often costly.
- Sudden spikes in demand and supply strain across grids may translate into unpredictable pricing and scheduling risks.
- AI's robust energy usage, while fueling innovation, is prompting grid capacity investments and regulatory shifts that can influence commercial energy availability and rates.
While companies in deregulated states have the advantage of shopping for the best electricity and natural gas suppliers, the complexity of comparing rates, terms, and contracts often leaves many overpaying.
