AI adoption is driving unprecedented energy demands, with data centers already consuming up to 2% of global electricity and projected to double by 2030. Enterprises face rising costs and sustainability pressures as both large frontier models and smaller AI applications strain infrastructure. Meeting this challenge requires energy-efficient design: optimized CPUs/GPUs, liquid cooling, virtualization, and AI-powered power management. Regulatory and ESG compliance add urgency, pushing operators to adopt renewable energy and transparent reporting. Done right, green data centers lower costs, reduce emissions, enhance resilience, and even create value through heat reuse and smart grid integration.
