Powering the AI Boom: States, Energy, and the Politics of Affordability

The AI-fueled boom in data centers is driving a spike in electricity demand and emerging as a political tension point as the economics of electricity reshapes state policymaking and the national energy debate. Data center politics played a key role in fueling statewide Democratic wins in Virginia, New Jersey and Georgia amid voter backlash over rising power costs, and promises to rise on the legislative agenda on states throughout the country heading in 2026.

Join POLITICO Pro on Thursday, November 13, at 1:00pm ET for a look at the political fights over power generation and AI infrastructure and what they mean for state and federal policymakers and businesses.
