This study reviews and uses existing literature and public data sources to estimate the energy consumption of data centres and telecommunication networks in the European Union (EU-27)
In this section, we aim to provide a comprehensive estimate – based on a combination of several sources and statistics – of the electricity consumption from data centres in 2024 in Europe,
According to AFCOM''s 2024 State of the Data Center Report, average rack density now sits around 12 kW. That''s 2x the 6.1 kW per rack they initially reported in 2016.
The cost of powering a data center rack is complex and rising due to AI workloads. Effective management requires a holistic approach addressing IT, cooling, and power distribution.
