A.I. Isn’t the Only Thing Pushing Up Electricity Bills. (But It’s Mostly A.I.)

Calvin Butler, who became CEO of Exelon in 2022, has pointed out that while A.I. is a major contributor to the increase in electricity bills, it is not the sole factor. This revelation comes at a time when energy costs are a pressing concern for consumers and policymakers alike. The implications of rising electricity bills extend beyond individual households, affecting the broader economy and prompting a reevaluation of energy policies. As discussions around energy management intensify, the role of A.I. in shaping future energy consumption patterns is likely to be a focal point, influencing both corporate strategies and regulatory frameworks.
