Data-centre electricity
International Energy AgencyChina
- 2024 approximately 100 TWh IEA 2025, p. 57
As of today, data centres account for approximately 100 TWh of electricity consumption, roughly equivalent to that of electric vehicles in China. The country accounts for around 25% of global data centre electricity consumption
- 2024 1.1% IEA 2025, p. 58
Data centres account for slightly less than 2% of Europe’s electricity consumption, a share that is higher than China’s (1.1%).
- Change, 2024 to 2030 around +175 TWh IEA 2025, p. 64
Consumption increases by around 240 TWh (up 130%) in the United States, compared to the 2024 level (Figure 2.12). In China it increases by around 175 TWh (up 170%). In Europe it grows by more than 45 TWh (up 70%). Japan increases by around 15 TWh (up 80%).
