Nuclear Energy Expansion Faces Water Resource Challenges

Nuclear Energy Expansion Faces Water Resource Challenges

A global nuclear energy renaissance is unfolding. Around the world, the public and private sectors are warming to the idea of nuclear energy expansion to meet ballooning energy demand driven by data centers without throwing decarbonization accords out the window.  The International Energy Agency projects that the world will produce more nuclear energy in 2025 than ever before. “More than 70 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity is under construction…

Today, Thursday, 10 April, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published its first report on the relationship between energy and artificial intelligence (AI).1 The document also places great emphasis on data centres, which are essential for the training of large language models and for the operation of chat bots. Last year, 1.5% of the electricity consumed in the world was used to power these data centres. Only one of these hangars dedicated t…

A closer look at what AI data centers will mean for US energy demand

The push for artificial intelligence is expected to fuel a sharp rise in electricity demand, with consumption from data centers expected to more than double by the end of the decade, The Wall Street Journal reports.  According to a recent report by the International Energy Agency, data centers will require slightly more energy than Japan consumes today by 2030, with demand for AI-optimized facilities alone set to quadruple. An AI-focused data ce…

The International Energy Agency is pointing to the growing need for electricity in the world due to the race for artificial intelligence, but is relativizing its effects on climate goals. Renewable energy is expected to meet half of this demand by the end of the decade, according to the organization.

AI energy need will be the same as Japan's by 2030

IEA says data centres will need to consume 945 TWh of power within five years to serve AI
