IEA Annual Report: Data centers accounted for 'half of the increase' in U.S. electricity demand last year, while battery storage is the fastest-growing power technology globally.
The latest report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that data centers are becoming a key force in reshaping the energy landscape in the United States and even globally. The IEA's annual 'Global Energy Review' report released on Monday pointed out that the U.S. electricity demand will grow by 2% in 2025, of which the electricity consumption of data centers alone contributed to about half of the total increase in U.S. power consumption. At the same time, global electricity demand growth reached 3%, far exceeding the overall energy demand growth rate of 1.3%. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol characterized this trend as a clear signal of "economic electrification expansion." On the supply side, photovoltaics became the top driver of global energy demand growth for the first time.
