Their network and storage infrastructure and compute capabilities are the backbone of advancing technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and cryptocurrency mining, among others. The proliferation of these technologies comes with an energy cost, though. Accompanying data centres\u2019 growth is an exponential increase in the energy that they consume, creating an urgent need for sustainable solutions to alleviate pressure on already strained energy resources. For investors, renewable energy alternatives offer compelling exposure to growth opportunities, and the burgeoning data centre industry is one that could help accelerate their adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-takeaways\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The data centre industry accounts for more than 1% of the world\u2019s power consumption and is expected to reach a hefty 8% by 2030.<sup>1<\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The integration of renewable energy sources is key to mitigating the environmental impact of global data centre energy consumption, facilitating sustainability, and reducing dependence on non-renewable sources during peak-demand periods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Climate change, shareholder pressure, and resultant sustainability regulations are among the motivating factors that have providers exploring clean energy options for data centres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-data-centres-escalate-demand-for-energy\">Data Centres Escalate Demand for Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Data centre electricity usage is poised to double as soon as 2026 due to the surge in power-intensive technologies like AI, cloud computing, the internet-of things, and cryptocurrency mining.<sup>2<\/sup> On a global scale, data centres consume roughly 200 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy each year, with the top three hyperscalers, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, responsible for approximately 90 TWh of the consumption.<sup>3<\/sup> That figure is likely to grow significantly with the full implementation of AI in search tools like Google, perhaps by as much as tenfold.<sup>4<\/sup> The energy requirements of a typical Google search is 0.3 watt-hours (Wh), while a request made to OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT is 2.9 Wh. Considering that there are approximately 9 billion daily searches translates to additional electricity demand of nearly 10 TWh annually.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"464\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampusdev.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto_01.jpg\" alt=\"Global Electricity Demand from Data centres, AI and Cryptocurrencies 2019-2926\" class=\"wp-image-195432 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto_01.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto_01-700x406.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto_01-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto_01-768x445.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; aspect-ratio: 800\/464;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Past performance is not indicative of future results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the International Energy Agency\u2019s (IEA) 2024 annual electricity report, data centres consumed 460 TWh in 2022, a figure that could soar to 650 TWh in a best-case scenario to over 1,000 TWh by 2026 in a worst-case scenario.<sup>6<\/sup> The rapid expansion of AI-related services driving investments in power-hungry GPUs is likely to increase usage. For example, Nvidia, the dominant player in the AI server market with an estimated 95% market share, has become the primary beneficiary of the demand for computing power to support AI projects.<sup>7<\/sup> In January, Meta Platforms Inc revealed that it intends to buy more than 350,000 of Nvidia\u2019s H100 GPU\u2019s by end of the year.<sup>8<\/sup> The enormous demand is further reflected in Nvidia\u2019s Data Centre segment recording a record $47.5bn in FY2024 revenue, a 217% increase from a year ago.<sup>9<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United States, which accounts for 33% of the world\u2019s data centres, energy consumption is anticipated to total 260 TWh in 2026, representing approximately 6% of the country\u2019s electricity consumption.<sup>10<\/sup> Available data from Europe shows that in 2018 data centres consumed 76.8 TWh.<sup>11<\/sup> That number is expected to increase by 28% to 98.5 TWh by 2030 and reach 3.21% of total electricity consumption.<sup>12<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"464\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampusdev.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto-02-2.jpg\" alt=\"Estimated Data centre electricity consumption and its share in total electricity demand \" class=\"wp-image-195433 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto-02-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto-02-2-700x406.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto-02-2-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/240430-Global-electricity-demand-data-centres-ai-and-crypto-02-2-768x445.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; aspect-ratio: 800\/464;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Past performance is not indicative of future results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-data-centre-energy-use-spurs-sustainability-innovation-new-partnerships\">Data Centre Energy Use Spurs Sustainability Innovation, New Partnerships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Data centres\u2019 electricity consumption primarily stems from computing and cooling systems.

Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power can help flatten energy consumption profiles and reduce dependence on non-renewable sources, particularly during peak-demand periods.<sup>14<\/sup> Energy storage and battery technologies will be critical in facilitating efficient management of renewable energy supplies, ensuring uninterrupted operations.<sup>15<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital Realty, one of the largest providers of cloud and carrier-neutral data centres, colocation, and interconnection solutions is revolutionizing sustainable data centre solutions and setting new industry standards. The company recently surpassed 1 gigawatt (GW) of sustainable IT capacity, boasting global renewable energy coverage of 64%.<sup>16<\/sup> The company, which has partnerships with industry leaders such as Nvidia and Schneider Electric to propel AI and sustainability initiatives, aims to extend its deployment of renewable energy generators in the United States and globally.<sup>17<\/sup> Also, the company leads initiatives like the EU Climate Neutral Data Centre Operator Pact, advocating for industry-wide sustainability standards.<sup>18<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equinix is regarded as another leader in this field, demonstrating its commitment to green energy integration through strategic partnerships and ground-breaking initiatives. In January 2024, the company signed one of the largest power purchase agreement (PPA) deals in France\u2019s history. This 20-year PPA with renewable energy producer wpd will procure energy from a wind farm to help power its data centres.<sup>19<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-regulations-and-initiatives-starting-to-shape-data-centre-efficiency\">Regulations and Initiatives Starting to Shape Data Centre Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technological advancements, especially in efficiency, and updated regulations to keep companies in line are essential to manage the surge in data centre energy consumption. Regulatory scrutiny on data centres\u2019 energy consumption is starting to intensify with governments imposing stringent mandates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2024, the EU Commission approved a new Energy Efficiency Directive that introduces a unified scheme to assess the sustainability of data centres with a power demand of 0.5 megawatts (MW) or higher.<sup>20<\/sup> Beginning in 2026, data centre operators must report sustainability metrics, including total electricity usage and the proportion covered by renewable sources. The objective is to facilitate comparisons among data centres and encourage the implementation of innovative designs or suitable efficiency measures in new and existing facilities. These measures aim to significantly decrease energy and water consumption and encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources, enhance grid efficiency, and facilitate the reuse of waste heat in adjacent facilities and district heating networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New regulations at the country level are a trend as well. In late 2023, Germany implemented a new Energy Efficiency Act, stipulating that data centre operators source 50% of their electricity from non-subsidised renewable sources by January 2024 and 100% by January 2027.<sup>21<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-data-centres-can-promote-renewables-adoption\">Conclusion: Data Centres Can Promote Renewables Adoption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the digital landscape expands at an exponential pace, so does data centres\u2019 energy consumption. It is believed that the data centre industry\u2019s willingness to embrace new technologies that reduce strain on energy grids positions it as a proactive contributor to the solution. Given the industry\u2019s essential role in turning the world digital, green data centres could be another major driving force in the transition to renewables, and one that creates compelling investment opportunities along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This document is not intended to be, or does not constitute, investment research as defined by the Financial Conduct
