When comparing this year's data with last year's, there are some marked differences. The number of operators that indicate the largest share of nominal installed IT power and electricity consumption, distance to heat networks is too great is decreasing. This may be followed by enterprise and hyperscale (co-hosting) environments. This quality mismatch. As a result of increased liquid cooling, the quality capacity. As EED definitions are applied, the data shows a consistent (read: temperature) of the heat makes it easier to reuse, reducing the need for heat pumps. Even though it is taking a long time for heat re-use to make a substantial overallimpact on the industry, the Based on the analysis, the overall power consumption of all data Conditions for its success appear to have improved markedly. centres, colocation, hyperscale and enterprise, is estimated at 57.9 TVVh for 2024, or 2.1% of all electricity usage in the European Union. As a group, colocation data centres are responsible for 48% of that, or 27.6 TWh. More precisely, 20.3 TVh is used by colocation customers, while 7.3 TVVh is used by the colocation operator for Cooling, lighting and other faciliatory uses. As we found in the survey. most of that, 90%, is renewable energy (and 97% is zero carbon). footprint. As Pb7 applies the European Commission's EED definitions
