At a moment when America’s ageing power grid is already struggling, AI adds unprecedented demand for electricity. According to WaPo, “Northern Virginia needs the equivalent of several large nuclear power plants to serve all the new data centers planned and under construction.” Another study found that NVIDIA’s servers alone could burn through 85.4–134.0 terawatt hours (TWh) each year by 2027 — or three to five times the electricity consumption of Ireland.
Using WaPo’s figures, we calculated that ChatGPT may presently use around 39.98 Million kWh per day — enough to charge eight million phones.Each year, the 117 lowest-consumption countries each consume less electricity than ChatGPT.
