AI-driven data centers are set to increase power consumption by over 160% by 2030

AI-driven data centers are set to increase power consumption by over 160% by 2030, posing a major challenge for sustainable energy infrastructure. Nuclear energy is emerging as a key solution, offering reliable, low-carbon power.

Germany’s recent nuclear phase-out highlights the risks of relying solely on renewable energy and natural gas to bridge energy gaps. To meet AI’s demands sustainably, a balanced mix of nuclear, renewables, natural gas, and battery storage will be critical.

By focusing on diverse energy solutions, we can ensure AI’s growth supports a more sustainable future.
