AI data center electricity demand will reach 1% of global power use by 2030, with concentrated siting causing high power stress in specific regions like Oregon, Virginia, and Ireland.
The model was instructed to reason explicitly about local grid mix, cooling efficiency, and infrastructure maturity, and to avoid copying assumptions between regions
