In-depth analysis of data center power consumption, grid infrastructure, supply chain dynamics, and the energy demands of AI. Learn how the digital world consumes electricity.
Data Center Carbon Targets vs. Surging Power Demand
Hyperscalers pledged net-zero by 2030–2040, but AI-driven power demand is growing 25–30% CAGR. Can carbon targets survive the compute buildout?
Data Center Water Consumption in Drought-Prone Regions
A 100 MW data center can consume 1–5 million gallons of water per day. In drought-prone regions, water availability is emerging as a critical constraint alongside power.
Crypto Mining’s Evolving Power Landscape
Bitcoin mining still consumes 100+ TWh annually, but post-Merge and post-halving, the industry has fundamentally restructured toward institutional-scale operations.
Battery Storage at Data Centers
Behind-the-meter battery storage at data centers is emerging as a dual-purpose solution: backup power and grid revenue. With lithium-ion costs at $130/kWh, the economics are shifting.
