The ICT sector, which includes the internet (through cables or wireless), consumer electronics, data centers and online machines, is expanding rapidly. This is increasing the pressure on our energy supply – particularly the growing number of data centers. We need a combination of new energy-efficient technology and an expanded grid to meet the demand in all parts of the country.
- How much energy does today’s ICT sector use? What will it look like a decade from now?
- What does energy use look like in different parts of the sector? How can technical development impact future demand?
- What is happening on the research front in this area?
