Tech energy growth forecast

Energy forecasters say Northwest data centers and chip factories could need thousands of additional megawatts of electricity by the end of the decade. They say 80% of the growth will come from data centers. At the high end of the forecast, new data centers could require nearly as much power as all the homes in Oregon and Washington use today.

Forecasters say all four scenarios are possible given a high degree of uncertainty over future data center power growth. They don't rate any one scenario as more likely than the others.
