Indeed.

In addition, there’s a lot of consumption that was non-electric (e.g. transport, heating) that is moving to electric. Most of the increased grid consumption is not new consumption, it’s consumption that was previously direct fossil fuels.

The exception is basically bitcoin and AI, plus electrification of underdeveloped areas.
