Data centers may consume 4% of global electricity this decade, according to the International Energy Agency. Beyond total volume, synchronized AI workloads create unpredictable demand spikes that challenge grid stability. IEEE Spectrum warns that these volatile patterns outpace current utility forecasts.
The Signal
Operators must now redesign infrastructure to handle erratic, high-density compute surges.
