The IEA’s Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative, the IEA 4E TCP Efficient, Demand Flexible Networked Appliances (EDNA) and the Super-Efficient Equipment and Appliance deployment (SEAD) initiative are co-organising a webinar focused on the electricity use of data centres and the role of energy consumption data in enabling effective policy and planning. The session will begin with an overview of the latest IEA analysis on the links between artificial intelligence (AI) and electricity demand, followed by two technical presentations examining data availability and methodologies for assessing data centre energy use. These will include new research from EDNA on critical assessments of current energy modelling approaches and the development of a next-generation energy forecasting tool.
Webinar to be held 27 Jun 2025 10:00—11:30 (Paris time)
