Each dot is a state. A spread of dots with no clear line means growth in commercial use does not, by itself, predict the change in home prices.

How to read these pages

Commercial sales are what utilities sell to business customers; large data centers are often billed there but can also sit in the industrial class. A state with a few big projects can top the table, and a state with many small additions can too. Prices are nominal. For the national estimate, PJM forecasts and large-load tariffs, see the national data-center page.

Questions

Do these pages show data-center electricity use?

No. No open source lists data-center load by state, so we show commercial-sector sales, which include data centers.

Which state added the most commercial electricity sales?

Texas, with +31.8 TWh from 2019 to 2025; Virginia added +29.6 TWh.

Do data centers raise electricity prices?

These tables cannot answer that. Prices also reflect fuel costs, wires, storms and rate cases, and the link between load growth and price differs by state.
