About this listen
The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that global data centers will use around 415 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2024, or roughly 1.5% of global power usage. This figure is expected to more than double to 945 TWh by 2030 and could reach as high as 1,720 TWh by 2035- which is roughly the equivalent of the electric usage in Japan.
Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the IEA, explains that this explosive growth requires more electricity, which "has major consequences for the global energy sector. There is no AI without energy – specifically electricity."
But how will the aging global electric grid meet these new demands? On today's show, our
host Dr. Katherine Johnson will discuss the implications that AI has on energy usage and sustainability.
Join the KJ Show at 11 a.m. Eastern Wednesday (https://boldbravetv.com/11am-the-kj-show/). Share your thoughts by calling 866-451-1451 or sending your comments to kjohnson@johnsonconsults.com.
