How this measure is built

Definition
December 2024 LBNL scenario range endpoint for annual US data-centre electricity consumption in 2028, including equipment and facility infrastructure.
Measure
One slice of Electricity consumption ( basis: forecast high, form: level, segment: data centre ) . Total electrical energy consumed over a given period. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
Limitations
1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
Verification
Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its quote before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
