North America's electric grid will face strain for the next decade due to the increasing demand from artificial intelligence (AI), warns a report from an industry watchdog.
The report states that the rising consumption of power coupled with the closure of power plants poses risks to the stability of the power grid.
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) expects a 15% increase in summer power demand and an 18% increase in winter demand.
The retirements of existing coal, natural gas, and nuclear generators could negatively impact the reliability of the power system in the next 10 years.
