With investments in AI infrastructure going stratospheric, attentions are increasingly turning to the energy systems needed to support the next generation of data centres.

For operators building facilities capable of handling ever-larger AI workloads, improving computational performance is only part of the equation. Reducing electricity demand, lowering water consumption and integrating sites with local energy networks are becoming equally important priorities.

Nebius believes the answer lies in designing its AI cloud as a fully integrated system, combining servers, racks, cooling technologies and cloud software to maximise efficiency.

The company's latest Sustainability Report outlines how this engineering-led approach is helping reduce the energy and resource intensity of its expanding global infrastructure while supporting rapid growth.

With AI driving unprecedented growth in data centre electricity consumption, improving operational efficiency has become a central challenge for the sector.
