Mains Focus THE CHALLENGES OF DATA CENTRES TRYING TO MEET THEIR CLIMATE GOALS "The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that global electricity demand from data centres could exceed 1,000 TWh by 2026—more than Japan’s current demand. In India, installed IT load has already crossed ~1,000 MW (2024) and is expected to triple by FY-2028. Cooling alone can consume 40-50 % of a facility’s power budget. With AI‐driven workloads and 5 G-enabled data localisation gathering pace, “greening” cooling is emerging as a core question of energy security, water security, and India’s Net-Zero-2070 pathway." https://blog.lukmaanias.com/2025/06/03/the-challenges-of-data-centres-trying-to-meet-their-climate-goals/ ..
