Summary

The growth of artificial intelligence data centers has raised questions about energy use and community impact. This project addresses that issue by developing an interactive demonstration based on interrupted time series analysis. The system allows users to explore changes in energy consumption over time alongside related data and context. The goal is to improve understanding of how data center expansion may affect energy costs and surrounding communities through accessible, data-driven analysis.
