Decarbonisation of USA electricity — usa (location-based)
The U.S. electricity sector is transitioning rapidly as historical coal capacity is retired and replaced with renewables and natural gas. However, after a decade of stagnation, national electricity demand is rising sharply—projected by the EIA to grow between 0.9% and 1.6% annually through 2050. This growth is heavily driven by the emergence of massive data center loads and economy-wide electrification, creating a structural tension between expanding grid capacity and meeting federal and state decarbonisation targets.
