Here's a link to the report it cites: https://www.idc-a.org/insights/Sk2PFZCost98Eqhk2FUA
Top five consumers:
- USA, 29.2 GW (43% global share) [6% of national grid]
- China, 8.5 GW (12.5%, 3.5 times less than the US) [0.8% of national grid]
- Germany, 5.5 GW (8.1%) [9.5% of national grid]
- Japan, 1.7 GW (2.5%) [1.5% of national grid]
However, their executive summary shows a graph in terawatthours over 2026 so far and the shares and burden on grids are way off: for example, Germany's data centers now sit at only 6.1% of the national grid instead of 9.5%. And the bubbles in the map below don't make sense either, Brazil is now in the top 3???
