Global demand for data centers will triple by 2035, requiring renewable energy and efficiency

Elise Calixto, a partner in the Energy sector, emphasizes the urgent need for adaptation in response to rapid technological growth and the resulting energy demand. She discusses the McKinsey report, which forecasts a tripling of the global demand for data centers in less than a decade, highlighting the importance of sustainability. According to Elise, for the expansion of data centers to be feasible, it is crucial that it is linked to the strategic use of renewable energy and the optimization of operational efficiency. This not only aligns with the growing energy needs but also with environmental responsibility, ensuring that the technological development of data centers proceeds in a sustainable manner.
