What it is
AI datacenters are projected to push US datacenter electricity demand toward the high-single to low-double-digit percentage of national consumption by the late 2020s, straining interconnection queues and pushing utilities to defer coal retirements. Grid interconnection wait times of 4-7 years are now the binding constraint on AI buildout in many regions. Power availability, more than chips, increasingly gates new capacity.

Times are New York time. Free sources are pulled on the schedule shown by the pipeline runner (data/corpus/run_pipelines.py), which logs every run; paid sources run only with the owner's yes; filings and newsroom pages are re-read when a new document is filed.
