EPISODE 85: POWER SURGE - HOW AI IS SHAKING UP DATA CENTRES” ENERGY NEEDS

AI doesn’t just munch on data, it’s a hungry beast that needs serious juice to keep those models running 24/7.

Let’s hit you with some numbers to really electrify your day:

• Data centres in the U.S. already chew through 4% of the total power. By 2030? That number will be 9%.
• And the big players—hyper-scale data centres like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft? They’re consuming 60%–70% of all data centre power.

With AI turning everything into a compute fiesta, these power demands are about to go through the roof. Cue the “Great Power Rush”—and no, it’s not about gold, it's all about securing those precious kilowatts now.

So, buckle up for The Great Power Surge: How AI is shaking up the Data Centre Energy Needs -
