Data centres are the beating heart of our digital world, powering everything from online shopping to critical infrastructure. However, this relentless operation generates immense heat, posing a significant challenge to maintaining optimal performance and efficiency.
How much energy will the world's data centers consume by 2026?
Projections suggest that by 2026, data center cooling systems could consume a staggering 1000 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, nearly doubling the current consumption levels of 460 TWh in 2022, which already accounted for a whopping 2% of global electricity usage. As our digital infrastructure continues its relentless expansion to meet surging data demands, the environmental toll of powering and cooling these mission-critical facilities could become catastrophic without urgent action.
How much energy do you think the world's data centers will consume in 2024 or by 2026? Projections suggest that by 2026, data center cooling systems could consume a staggering 1000 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, nearly doubling the current consumption levels of 460TWh in 2022, which already accounted for a whopping 2% of global electricity usage. As our digital infrastructure continues its relentless expansion to meet surging data demands, the environmental toll of powering and cooling these mission-critical facilities could become catastrophic without urgent action.
A typical hyperscale data centre can consume 3-5 million gallons of water per day, comparable to the daily water use of a city with 30-40,000 people.
