Google's electricity consumption for its data centers has more than doubled over the past four years, increasing from 14.4 million megawatt-hours (MWh) in 2020 to 30.8 million MWh in 2024, according to the company's latest sustainability report. This surge in energy demand highlights the growing power requirements of large-scale data center operations. Industry analysts note that data centers in the United States are projected to account for between 6.7% and 12% of the nation's total energy use by 2028, representing a range of 255 terawatt-hours—equivalent to the consumption of over 24 million households. The rapid growth in data center energy use underscores the challenges facing the technology sector in balancing operational expansion with sustainable energy practices.
