This blog article introduces a new ArcGIS Living Atlas layer that visualizes U.S. electricity rates from 2000–2024 to show how rising demand from data centers and AI intersects with broader rate trends. It highlights nominal and inflation-adjusted changes, regional variations, and uses hexagon grids for clearer mapping, helping planners, policymakers, and researchers understand evolving electricity cost patterns.
