The aggregated demand for energy from crypto, artificial intelligence (AI), and traditional data centers could double in 2026. According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the consumption growth might mean adding a country like Sweden (in the best case) or Germany (in the worst case) to the global energy demand.
Crypto, AI, and Traditional Data Centers to Add Significantly to 2026’s Global Energy Demand
According to a recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), an international organization created in 1974 to secure the energy reliance of its members, it is predicted that the energy consumption of traditional data centers, artificial intelligence (AI), and crypto might double by 2026.
The IEA stresses that data centers are a critical part of today’s digitalization, supporting all kinds of online operations, with 40% of the electricity demand of these centers coming from computing tasks and another 40% from cooling the devices where this computing take
