According to The Pew Charitable Trusts (2025), U.S. electricity demand is projected to increase 25 percent by 2030 and 78 percent by 2050, driven by electrification, population growth, and new industrial development.
Projected Increase in Peak Load
A Utility Dive analysis of national load forecasts found that peak load demand across many U.S. regions is expected to grow by 175 gigawatts by 2030 and 270 gigawatts by 2035, relative to 2024 levels.
