Do data centers increase electricity prices? Our latest report from @USCEnergy answers this question. We examine data center entry on wholesale (2020-2025) and retail electric prices (2015-2025) in the United States.

[Shon R. Hiatt @ShonHiatt]

In sum, data centers have a small impact on wholesale prices and even smaller effect on retail rates for most customers. #datacenter #powerprices

Utah has great potential for growth in energy and mineral production while protecting the environment.

A vibrant exchange on national energy trends and Utah's "Operation Gigawatt" with Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson and her team as well as other local municipal leaders.

Many thanks to moderator Natalie Gochnour and fellow panelists Darin Knapp, Paul Cutler, and Bill Anderegg as well as Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson and her team for the engaging and informative exchange.

[Shon R. Hiatt @ShonHiatt]

It was pleasure to join discussions on data centers, "Operation Gigawatt", energy, and water in Utah at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute and with Salt Lake County.

Utah faces a risk of power shortages as data center and manufacturing demand rises, baseload generation comes offline, and new sources are not fast enough to come online.

[Shon R. Hiatt @ShonHiatt]

We had a productive conversation on how industry, policy, and infrastructure can align to secure the critical minerals powering our energy and digital future.

In #Utah this week discussing energy, data centers, and the mineral supply chains with Brian Somers, President of the @Utah_Mining, and Burke Olsen @burkeo, Publisher of the @Deseret.

With significant potential in heavy rare earths, #lithium, and #uranium, the state is well positioned to lead in the current commodity super cycle.

It was a great pleasure to speak on AI data centers and energy at the annual Texas Policy Summit. Texas is second to Virginia for data center buildout.

@USCEnergy addresses timely and important energy issues affecting business and society.

[Texas Public Policy Foundation @TPPF]

Texas stands at the epicenter of producing the energy needed to power the AI revolution.

This TPS2026 panel asks: how will it play out?

[Texas Public Policy Foundation @TPPF]

@TanParkerTX @ShonHiatt: AI data centers are price-insensitive when it comes to electricity rates.

[Texas Public Policy Foundation @TPPF]

@TanParkerTX @ShonHiatt @ShonHiatt: A lot of data centers are going to areas of Texas with scarce water resources
