"Bending the Energy Curve: Decoupling Digitalization Trends from Data Center Energy Growth"

This paper explores ways to "bend the energy curve" and decouple data center energy growth from digitalization trends. It shows how modest improvements in PUE and ICT efficiency beyond current projections could reduce data center energy by 17% by 2030. Read the full white paper for industry-led strategies for sustainable data center operations.

This white paper examines the reasons for the projected increase in data center electricity use through 2030. The authors correlate annual data production with ICT energy consumption to discuss infrastructure and ICT technology. The analysis shows a disruption in compute efficiency starting around 2020, with recovery expected by 2026. The paper suggests that small improvements in power usage effectiveness (PUE) and compute efficiency from 2026 could reduce energy growth by 17%, decoupling data growth from energy use. This approach prioritizes clean energy supply over unbounded data center energy growth. Explore insights and recommendations for improving infrastructure and ICT efficiency.
