There are roughly 5,400 data centers in the United States that consume up to 200 TWhs (terawatts) combined in electricity annually. Data centers represent roughly almost 5% of the power consumption in the US.
For perspective, a single terawatt (1 TWh) is enough electricity to power roughly 93,000 average homes for a year.
