Energy efficiency of connected devices
EDNA’s work in this area is strongly focused on network standby energy. Network standby energy is the energy used by a connected device when not performing its primary function, but maintaining a network connection. By 2030 it is estimated that 300 TWh per annum could be wasted by network standby energy globally, which is the […]
Energy efficiency of data centres
According to the IEA, the global electricity demand of data centres grew by 17% in 2025, in line with IEA projections. Electricity consumption from AI-focused data centres grew even faster, surging 50% in 2025. To date, most policy efforts have focused on the energy used for cooling and lighting within data centres, as well as […]
Demand flexible networked appliances
Demand flexible networked appliances empower consumers and are able to react to requirements from the grid, for example to increase or decrease power consumption in response to renewable energy generation patterns, or to react to local demand constraints. Overall, they helps lower bills, integrate renewable energy, reduce peak loads, and improve the efficiency and resilience […]
