Summary

Over the last several years, energy consumption by data centers worldwide has become a topic of intense discussion beyond the data center industry itself. One of the more comprehensive studies was that by the U.S. Congress in Public Law 109-431 in which the EPA was mandated to quantify the electricity usage by U.S. data centers. The EPA published its findings in an official Report to Congress on Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency Public Law 109-431, 2007. The key finding of this study indicated that in 2006, U.S. data centers consumed 1.5% of all electricity used in the U.S. and that according to historical trends, this consumption was set to rise exponentially in the future.
