Enabling unprecedented electricity demand

Jason Plane, Utility segment manager, Eaton

As we move toward an all-electric society and integrate more renewables, utilities face a dramatic surge in electricity demand, projected to grow by 36% over the next decade. This growth is being driven by the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence, the rapid expansion of data centers, the electrification of homes and buildings, the electrification of transportation and the resurgence of reindustrialization.

To meet this rising demand, utilities are deploying multi-pronged strategies. These efforts include modernizing aging infrastructure, unlocking hidden grid capacity through advanced digital tools, and embracing demand-side flexibility. Emerging technologies are enabling smarter, more adaptive energy flows, while intelligent load management and automation solutions are helping to orchestrate supply and demand at the grid edge.

Successfully navigating this transformation requires bold investment, strategic foresight and cross-sector collaboration. Utilities must evolve to build a resilient, future-ready grid—one that delivers clean, reliable and affordable power to meet the needs of a rapidly changing energy landscape.
