Electricity demand in the U.S. is clearly trending higher. Forecasts suggest overall electricity consumption could grow roughly 25% by 2030, driven by electrification, reshoring, AI, and data centers. Data centers alone accounted for about 4% of U.S. electricity use in 2024, with estimates showing that share more than doubling by the end of the decade as AI and computational demand accelerate. This growth translates directly into physical requirements: more generation, more substations, more transmission, and more heavy equipment moving across the country. (ICF, Pew Research, S&P Global)
The product shipping to support this buildout behaves differently from the broader dry van market. Flatbed, sprinter, and power-only demand tied to energy and infrastructure projects tends to follow predictable warm-season seasonality rather than sharp demand swings. Projects may pace differently, but they do not disappear. That reality rewards planning, carrier depth, and specialization. CargoVolt’s role is to help clients operate confidently in that environment, aligning logistics execution with long-cycle infrastructure builds instead of short-term market volatility.
