Supply vs demand
EIA-860M generator inventory · projects pipeline
1.6 GW of new generation came online in Wyoming over the last 18 months; another 2.9 GW is in the EIA-860M pipeline (under construction or filed); 220 MW is on the books to retire over the next 36. Meanwhile 3.6 GW of data-center load is in construction or permitted in the state. Largest plant in the supply pipeline: Dutchman Solar Generation And Bess (Converse County) — 998 MW of solar, first online 2029-06. On the way out: Dave Johnston — 220 MW of coal, retiring 2027-12.
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.

Local voices on data centers
1 statement
SUPPORT · 2025-07
“Whoever powers the AI revolution will win the AI arms race. More American energy means data centers and AI will grow in America, not overseas. Adequate energy is not going to come from windmills and wishful thinking.”
