3% of global electricity consumption today and are projected to touch 4% by 2030. The average hyperscale facility consumes 20-50MW annually – theoretically enough electricity to power up to 37,000 homes[1].
Newer concepts reduce the energy for cooling to zero and integrate the datacenter into photovoltaic energy sources and local community heating as a sink[2]. Open source concepts allow to run a local cloud zone in this location regaining control of citizen data.
