Estimated New Load
New load for the more than 155 new plant and expansion projects totals more than 13,000 GWh/yr (not including data for about 20 facilities with insufficient data for estimating usage).
Scheduled Openings
Two-thirds of these facilities are scheduled to open by 2025.
Power Availability
Power availability is likely less significant to affected utilities than the concentrated nature and the potential for rapid emergence of these point loads, which might also cause higher peak demand.
Among the study’s findings are these significant data points:
Renewable Energy Access
Many companies want access to 100% renewable energy, 24/7 carbon-free energy, and extremely high service reliability and power quality levels.
