Where the US grid is growing, and what is meeting the growth

Net generation by state and fuel from the EIA Electric Power Monthly (generation_monthly.xlsx, 2026 preliminary), read on 2026-09-29. Every window is the twelve months to July, so the newest one carries data through July 2026 and is comparable with the ones before it.

The maps under The grid as it is are that data and nothing else. The maps under A data-centre scenario are not a forecast: the announced capacity by state is a starting point for you to replace, and the two drivers beside it are yours to move. Change either and the map redraws.
