Subtitle: Mastering Electrical Supply for New Industrial Facilities

by Christopher Boyer; William Bourgeois; and Skyler Bryant

Edited by Christopher Boyer

Book Description: The next 25 years will see unprecedented growth in U.S. electricity demand, driven primarily by data centers for AI and industrial electrification. This surge presents unique challenges for power generation, especially for large loads requiring hundreds of megawatts to gigawatts from a single location. Conventional grid expansion is inadequate, prompting the need for innovative, flexible, and sustainable solutions. This book explores the opportunities, challenges, and hybrid generation strategies to support the evolving landscape of large-scale electric loads.
