AI Boom Revives Obsolete Peaker Plants

The Hidden Cost of Data Centers

Surging power demand from AI data centers is bringing decades old "peaker" fossil fuel plants back online across the US.

Key facts:

In PJM (largest US grid): 60% of planned retirements postponed/cancelled this year mostly peakers
These inefficient, high-pollution plants (often in low-income communities) now profitable again

Example: Fisk plant in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood reactivated

Trade-off: Prevents blackouts but boosts local pollution & delays clean energy transition.

The real energy crisis behind the AI hype.
