The data center energy storage landscape is rapidly evolving, shaped by shifting priorities, emerging technologies, and growing AI demands. Industry professionals cite power availability, cybersecurity and data privacy, sustainability, cooling, and AI as the biggest challenges of the next decade.
The digital age is driven by data centers, yet their escalating energy demands pose a significant challenge. Currently consuming approximately 1% of global electricity, this figure is projected to rise dramatically, with U.S. data centers potentially using up to 9% of the nation's power by 2030.
Illustrative Annual Cost to Power One Data Center Rack (by Density, PUE, & Electricity Rate) This table shows how rack density, PUE, and location dramatically impact annual costs. An AI-capable 60 kW rack in a high-cost state could exceed $200,000 annually, underscoring the financial implications of high-density infrastructure.
Data-centers: the economics? The capex costs of data-centers are typically $10M/MW, with opex costs dominated by maintenance (c40%), electricity (c15-25%), labor, water, G&A and other. A 30MW data-center must generate $100M of revenues for a 10% IRR, while an AI data-center in 2025+ may need to charge $10/EFLOP of compute.
