    AI may use 3% of global electricity, but it also helps a lot of people do their jobs, so it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

    data center electricity consumption set to roughly double from 2025 to 2030, reaching about 3% of global electricity demand by then

    The central projection for electricity demand from data centres remains close to the trajectory set out in the IEA’s 2025 report. Our updated projections see electricity consumption from data centres roughly doubling from 485 TWh in 2025 to 950 TWh in 2030, accounting for around 3% of global electricity demand by that date. Electricity consumption from AI-focused data centres grows much faster than overall data centre electricity consumption, tripling in this period. Bottlenecks across the value chain, however, are reducing the likelihood of more aggressive near-term scenarios, despite booming investment and surging project pipelines. Chart showing electricity consumption by data centres from 2020 to 2035 in terawatt-hours. Historical data shows steady growth from around 300 TWh in 2020 to about 570 TWh in 2026. From 2026 to 2035, projected electricity use branches into a range bounded between approximately 950 TWh and 1,650 TWh, with the base case scenario reaching roughly 1,200 TWh by 2035.
