Supply vs demand
EIA-860M generator inventory · projects pipeline
Indiana is staring at an 1.9 GW energy shortfall: 8.2 GW of data-center load is under construction or permitted in the state, but utilities have only 6.2 GW of new generation in the EIA-860M pipeline to serve it. (For scale, the state's already-running data-center load is 2.4 GW.) The largest plant in the supply pipeline is Patoka Solar in Posey County — 250 MW of solar, first online 2027-09. On the way out: Rockport — 2.6 GW of coal, retiring 2028-12.
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.
