Show Notes
New York City braces for a surge in data centers, which could strain its power grid and hike electricity bills. With experts predicting a nearly seventy percent increase in electricity demand by 2030, the state is facing a potential crisis. Proposed projects seek thousands of megawatts from the grid, but without matching increases in supply. Lawmakers are considering a moratorium on new data centers over twenty megawatts, while utilities are preparing to protect customers from potential blackouts or higher costs. The state public service commission is reviewing how big energy users connect to the grid, aiming to balance growth with reliability.
