IEA and EDNA released today a report assessing models on data center energy use and providing new estimates.

Global power consumption of data centers (excluding crypto)
2023 : 300-380 TWh
2030 : 600-800 TWh

AI data center power consumption
2023 : 30-50 TWh
2030 : 200-400 TWh

+ nice synthesis of previous estimates and models.
