Moody's Projects US Data Centers Use 10% of Power by 2030
π» Tech Sep 30, 9:00 AM EDT 3/3
Power requirements for American data-processing facilities are projected to double over the next few years, based on a study from Moody's. The analysis finds that these centers could account for 10% of all US electricity consumption by 2030. This forecast reflects a sharp increase in the energy load required by data centers relative to the total domestic power supply through the end of the decade.
