The United States is undergoing a once-in-a-generation shift in electricity demand — driven in large part by the extraordinary growth of data centers, AI development, and cloud infrastructure. These digital engines are vital to national competitiveness, economic growth, and everyday life. But delivering on their promise requires a power system that can grow with them — reliably, affordably, and sustainably.

In this episode of Energy Solutions, EPSA President Todd Snitchler sits down with Aaron Tinjum, Vice President of Energy at the Data Center Coalition, to discuss how the data center sector is planning for the future, where it intersects with power markets and energy policy, and how competitive energy providers can help deliver the electricity infrastructure that meets this historic moment. They explore how to scale reliable generation, improve permitting, align regulatory frameworks, and ensure that both consumers and innovators benefit from a modern, responsive electricity system.

As electricity demand surges across the country due to data centers, electrification, and industrial growth, the U.S. power grid is under pressure to keep up. But what do the numbers really show, and where are we headed?

In this episode of Energy Solutions, EPSA President and CEO Todd Snitchler sits down with Angelina LaRose, Assistant Administrator for Energy Analysis at the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), to dive into what the data is telling us – from a changing resource mix to the vital role of dispatchable resources and the surprising growth in winter peak electricity demand.

She also shares how EIA maintains its neutrality, how new tools like the Energy Atlas and Electric Grid Monitor help make sense of the grid, and what to watch in the months ahead as power demand continues to rise.

Together, they tackle:

• The rising electricity demand across sectors – from AI to manufacturing
• The evolving generation mix, including trends in coal, solar, and storage
• The critical role of natural gas and dispatchable resources
• How EIA incorporates extreme weather and infrastructure constraints
• Regional reliability risks and price volatility
• EIA’s approach to modeling policy changes and staying neutral

📈 Whether you're a policymaker, analyst, reporter, or just curious about how energy trends take shape, this episode offers a clear, data-driven look at the forces reshaping America’s electricity landscape
