- The great new IEA AI report very usefully confirms 3 things all of us always suspected...
- Our special report on Energy & AI is out now! It shows AI is set to drive surging electricity demand from data centres in the coming decade But it also offers the potential to transform how the energy sector works Read the first-of-its-kind analysis ⬇️ iea.li/3G4nOjY
- 1. It will use a LOT more electricity... but is only one of many sources of rising electricity demand...
- 2. The uncertainty band - even to 2030 - is very wide (the size of Germany's total electricity demand!)
- 3. The US will see by far the largest rise in electricity demand (80% of rise is in US+China). (Also it's an incredible stat that data centre electricity consumption per capita in the US will be 1.2MWh in 2030!)
