A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

America's largest power grid is struggling to meet demand from AI: Rising prices out of the auction trickle down to everyday people's power bills. (www.reuters.com)

America's largest power grid is under strain as data centers and AI chatbots consume power faster than new plants can be built.

Electricity bills are projected to surge by more than 20% this summer in some parts of PJM Interconnection's territory, which covers 13 states - from Illinois to Tennessee, Virginia to New Jersey - serving 67 million customers in a region with the most data centers in the world.

The upheaval at PJM started a year ago with a more than 800% jump in prices at its annual capacity auction. Rising prices out of the auction trickle down to everyday people's power bills.

For context: In 2019, I was paying $0.09/KWh and today I pay about $0.29/KWh with yet another rate hike looming.

My neighbor does that with his grey water. Just be sure to use the right biodegradable soaps.
