Chaddjt, Deepseek: How much energy does AI Satpods use?
Data centers are provided with large -scale electricity. Nearly one -third of the demand for electricity in Ireland can come from the data centers.
It is estimated that every question in Satgpt uses 10 times more electricity than a traditional Google search.
According to the Electric Power Research Research Institute, a non -profit research institute, a Satgipti request uses 2.9 watts hours, while traditional Google searches use 0.3 watts hours each.
With the evaluation of 9 billion research daily, it will indicate an additional search of about 10 Twh electricity per year.
The AI industry depends on the data centers for training and operating its models, which leads to energy need and contribute to the global greenhouse gas emission.
Microsoft has announced that its CO2 emission has increased by nearly 30% due to the expansion of data centers.
Greenhouse gas emission from Google by 2023 was almost 50% higher than 2019, often due to the demand for database centers.
The use of energy by artificial intelligence currently refers to a portion of energy consumption in the technology industry and is estimated to be around 2 to 3 % of the total global emissions.
However, this percentage is likely to increase by using AI to increase the efficiency and productivity of more companies, governments and organizations.
Where are the data centers in the EU?
There are currently over 8,000 data centers worldwide, of which only 16% are located in Europe.
Most of these centers are concentrated in Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin.
The International Energy Agency (AIE) said that electricity consumption in the European Union Data Center is estimated to reach nearly 150 Twes by 2026.
The demand for the electricity of data centers in Ireland was 5.3 Twh in 2022, which refers to 17% of the total electricity consumed in the country.
This value is equal to the amount of electricity consumed by all urban residential buildings.
If the use of IA applications continues to expand at rapid pace, this sector may indicate 32% of the country’s total electric demand by 2026.
Denmark also welcomes 34 data centers, and half of them is located in Copenhagen.
AdvertisementLike Ireland, the total demand for Denmark electricity is expected to grow mainly due to the expansion of the data centers, which should be consumed by 6 Twh by 2026, which will be less than 20% of the country’s electricity demand.
However, the data centers in the Nordic countries – such as Sweden, Norway and Finland – benefit from low electric costs.
This is due to the low demand for refrigeration due to cold weather.
There are 60 data centers, the largest actor in the Nordic countries, half of them in Stockholm.
