Supply vs demand
EIA-860M generator inventory · projects pipeline
4.0 GW of new generation came online in Florida over the last 18 months; another 270 MW is in the EIA-860M pipeline (under construction or filed). Meanwhile 2.2 GW of data-center load is in construction or permitted in the state. Largest plant in the supply pipeline: Powerline Energy Storage (Citrus County) — 100 MW of battery storage, first online 2027-03.
Two bars, one scale. Demand is sorted by certainty — under construction first, then permitted, then proposed. The dashed rule marks where the supply pipeline runs out; everything to the right of it is demand on file with no supply filed against it.

“A lot of people have seen their bills go up because we have a limited grid. You do not have enough grid capacity in the United States to do what they're trying to do.”
