Data centers powering artificial intelligence (AI) systems are projected to consume approximately 1,500 terawatt-hours of electricity annually by the end of the decade, surpassing the electricity demand of countries such as Russia, Japan, and Brazil. This rapid increase in energy consumption is raising concerns about environmental impact and emissions, as highlighted by the United Nations. AI applications like ChatGPT are reported to consume up to ten times more power than traditional services like Google Search. The growth of AI and its associated data centers has also sparked worries about localized power shortages in some regions. In the United Kingdom, the expansion of large data centers has intensified debates over emissions and environmental sustainability.
