Wondering if the large number of semiconductor fabs has anything to do with this? These fabs like to be in flat areas with stable temps and access to water. Places like Arizona and Texas are the best places for these types of facilities and they use boat loads of electricity.
Haven't look up the numbers but it's possible that this and other industrial facilities consume a large amount.
