Datacentres
Datacentres represent an energy intensive industry, accounting for approximately 1.5% - 3% of electricity demand in the UK. There are over 400 such facilities across the country, which are the backbone of an internet economy that contributes to over 16% of domestic output, 10% of employment and 24% of total UK exports. Research from the National Grid indicates an expected growth of 70% in demand for data centres by 2050, which would lead to a similar increase in the demand for energy and cooling.
