Data centers guzzle huge amounts of power—and that might end up supercharging investment in renewable energy, executives argue
Investments in data centers have surged in recent years and are likely to keep rising through the end of the decade. Worldwide data center capacity will increase by 46% over the next two years, equivalent to a jump of almost 21,000 megawatts, according to real estate consultancy Knight Frank. The firm also expects capital expenditures to exceed $286 billion by 2027, driven by mounting demand for AI-optimized infrastructure, cloud services, and d…

A.I.’s Power Problem: How Data Centers Hold the Key to a Greener Future
The A.I. market has seen unprecedented growth in recent years and shows no signs of slowing down. According to a UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report, the global A.I. market is projected to surge from $189 billion in 2023 to $4.8 trillion by 2033—a 25-fold increase in just a decade. This growth is unsurprising given the wide-ranging benefits A.I. can bring to businesses across all sectors. From operational efficiency to data-driven analysis …
Artificial intelligence is hungry. It consumes huge amounts of data, demands enormous computing power, and often produces a carbon footprint similar to that of a long-haul flight. However, a technological revolution is now underway that not only dramatically increases the speed of data processing, but could also defuse the energy problem. Researchers:in the University of Laval in Canada and the Australian University of Surrey have developed an o…
Crisis Ahead: Power Consumption In AI Data Centers
AI data centers are consuming energy at roughly four times the rate that more electricity is being added to grids, setting the stage for fundamental shifts in where power is generated, where AI data centers are built, and much more efficient system, chip, and software architectures. The numbers are particularly striking for the United States and China, which are in a race to ramp up AI data centers. A 2024 report commissioned by the U.S. Departm…
