At the same time, artificial intelligence can open opportunities for more efficient electricity production and consumption, states IEA in its first report on the energy implications of artificial intelligence.
Data centers are 2024. represented about 1.5 percent of global electricity consumption, but the number grew by 12 percent per year in the last five years. Generative artificial intelligence requires huge computer power for data processing stored in huge databases, cross-axis.
Together, the United States, Europe and China currently consists of about 85 percent of energy consumption in Data centers.
Large technological companies increasingly recognize their growing energy need. Last year, Google signed a contract to obtain electricity from small nuclear reactors to help start your part in the artificial intelligence race.
Microsoft plans to use energy from new reactors at Three Island, the most difficult nuclear accident in the history of the United States that occurred during the 1979 core melting. Years. Amazon also signed an agreement on the use of nuclear energy for their data centers last year.
According to the current pace, the data centers will be consumed by about three percent of global energy.
According to the IEA, electricity consumption in data centers will reach around 945 Teravat-hours (TWH) by 2030. years.
