10 – 15%
The Demand for Data Centers
Continues to Grow
“In the US, data centres account for 1.5% of
national electricity consumption, and this is
probably also true in the UK. And the figure is
rising: the SusteIT survey found that 63% of
institutions are expecting to invest in more
servers over the next two years.”
