An Energy Institute report says US data centers consumed 312.6 TWh of electricity in 2025, accounting for nearly 40% of the global total. The report said that surge helped lift worldwide data center electricity demand by 19.7% year over year to 788 TWh. It also said global data center power consumption has doubled since 2020 and could double again before 2030. The report pointed to Microsoft’s restart of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant and Amazon’s investment in nuclear energy development as examples of how technology companies are seeking zero-carbon baseload electricity to meet AI computing demand. CryptoBriefing was cited in the Techub item.
