Explore the leading U.S. carbon offset project types in 2026, from forest management to renewable energy and engineered emissions solutions.

See which U.S. states are most prepared for power demand surges using 2024 demand-response capacity data from the EIA.

Reliable electricity is gaining value as utilities plan for AI-led growth and a more digital economy. Capacity factor helps compare the fitness of power sources on this topic because it shows which technologies deliver the steadiest output over time. This graphic, in partnership with the National Public Utilities Council, shows the most consistent U.S. power sources using data from the EIA.

Demand for new data centers is soaring across the United States. By 2028, the projected growth of total U.S. load capacity for data centers is about 150 GW. That’s nearly double the 80 GW capacity from 2025 and the equivalent of 75 Hoover Dams worth of power demand. In response, new growth is shifting to places where power is cheaper, faster to secure, and easier to expand. This graphic, in partnership with the National Public Utilities Council, shows which U.S. states may win or lose data center market share by 2028. It uses data from Bloom Energy’s 2026 Data Center Power Report.

AI-driven data centers are pushing U.S. electricity demand higher, and utilities are being asked to add capacity faster than usual. Consequently, carbon offsets are getting renewed attention as a near-term tool while long-lead infrastructure comes online. This graphic, in partnership with National Public Utilities Council, maps carbon offsets issued across U.S. states in 2025 using data from UC Berkeley’s Voluntary Registry Offsets Database.
