Winter storm jolts U.S. power prices as lawmakers push Big Tech to pay for AI data center electricity

Winter storm jolts U.S. power prices as lawmakers push Big Tech to pay for AI data center electricity

U.S. grid operators on Saturday stepped up precautions to avoid rotating outages as frigid weather strained power systems, pushing spot wholesale prices on the PJM Interconnection above $3,000 per megawatt hour, a standard unit for electricity. PJM, which serves 67 million people in 13 states and Washington, D.C., raised its forecast for Tuesday to 147.2 gigawatts, an all-time winter high. Dominion Energy, whose Virginia territory hosts a major concentration of data centers, said ice could become one of the largest winter events to hit its operations.

Why electricity prices are still high in 2026 — and the fight over who pays next

Why electricity prices are still high in 2026 — and the fight over who pays next

Electric bills are climbing across much of the U.S., with a Fast Company report on Thursday pointing to the AI data center boom as a major stress on the grid. In the Bay Area, PG&E’s average bill has jumped nearly 70% over five years, the report noted. A Bloomberg analysis it cited found electricity prices near some data centers have soared as much as 267% during the same stretch. Ryan Hledik of Brattle Group said, “We are seeing utilities run out of that spare capacity.” Fast Company added that Microsoft has pledged to cover grid upgrade costs tied to its new data centers. Oregon has taken a different approach, passing laws requiring data centers to pay their own bills. Some proposals would even classify these facilities as “interruptible,” meaning “they’re going to be the ones that get shut off first, not Grandma’s house,” said NRDC’s Jackson Morris.

Sawan indicated a final investment decision could come by 2027, with projected capital and operating costs around $20 billion. Shell is also eyeing Nigeria’s exploration licence round. Tinubu emphasized these incentives aren’t “blanket concessions” but tied to fresh capital and output. Shell highlighted recent investments in Bonga North and a gas project supplying Nigeria LNG; Exxon Mobil is another Bonga partner.
