十年内增长六倍
英国国家电网预测，人工智能 (AI) 和量子计算的繁荣将推动能源使用激增。这两者都依赖于数据中心——即装满计算机系统的仓库。首席执行官约翰·佩蒂格鲁表示，这些数据中心的电力使用量在未来十年将增长六倍。 另见: Karma Computing.
他说，电网正变得“受限”，需要采取“大胆行动”才能创建一个能够应对“急剧”需求增长的网络。佩蒂格鲁先生表示：“基础技术如人工智能和量子计算的未来增长，将意味着更大规模的高能耗计算基础设施。” 另见: 阿尔贝托·普列托.
电网转型“关键时刻”
在周二发布于 LinkedIn 的演讲中，佩蒂格鲁表示，这是电网转型的“关键时期”——随着对能源密集型技术的需求不断增长，以及越来越多的人选择热泵或电动汽车。 另见: AI芯片通胀：设备制造商受挤压，影响超越数据中心.
他说：“今天，我们就像在 20 世纪 50 年代一样，发现自己的网络容量有限。” 另见: D2C用户增长掩盖季节性使用差距.

数据中心的不可或缺性
大多数观察人士同意，无论未来如何，数据中心都将成为其中的一部分。它们已成为我们现代生活和技术不可或缺的一部分，作为存储在所谓“云”中的数字信息和其他形式 IT 设备的物理家园，为服务和平台提供动力。 另见: INWIT因与主要电信客户基站纠纷下调展望.
但所有这些计算能力都是以环境为代价的。一些研究警告说，到 2027 年，仅 AI 行业就可能消耗相当于荷兰这样一个国家大小的能源。官方数据显示，在爱尔兰共和国——谷歌和 Facebook 母公司 Meta 等几家主要科技公司的欧洲总部所在地——数据中心在 2022 年占该国总电力消耗的近五分之一。自 2015 年以来，该国数据中心的电力消耗增长了 400%，并引发了关于容量的辩论。
