We speak with Paul Tyrer, Global VP of IT Channel Ecosystem, Schneider Electric about the impact of AI on Data Centers in the coming years. Generative AI is expected to grow by US$158.6 billion by 2028, according to #canalys

The growth of AI presents data center companies with opportunities to innovate, expand their service offerings, and cater to the evolving needs of AI-driven applications and enterprises. However, it also comes at a cost. Global data center capacity is projected to grow by over 120 GW by 2030, fuelled by AI demand, with energy consumption expected to double to ~1,400 TWh, compared to 1% of today's total. This growth outpaces current power demand trends, posing capacity and sustainability challenges. It requires data center companies to adapt in order to meet the evolving power needs of AI-driven applications effectively and sustainably.
