AI to push Asia-Pacific data center capacity from 32 to 57 GW by 2030: JLL

Apac data centre capacity to double by 2030, AI boom creating 'generational shift' in power demand: JLL

Data centre capacity in Asia Pacific (Apac) is projected to nearly double by 2020, as AI-fuelled expansion reverses a decades-long trend of stable or declining electricity demand, according to research by JLL. Data compiled by the real estate consultancy shows that Apac data centre capacity will jump from 32 gigawatts (GW) to 57 GW by 2030. Globally, data centre capacity is expected to hit 200GW by then, driven largely by hyperscale cloud expans…

AI to push Asia-Pacific data center capacity from 32 to 57 GW by 2030: JLL

Artificial intelligence (AI) and data-center expansion can double Asia-Pacific data-center capacity by 2030, from 32 GW to 57 GW, and can pressure power grids worldwide, in a "generational shift" in electricity demand.
