A new study shows that if data centers move a significant portion of their energy consumption to non-peak hours, it could help lower average energy costs in the U.S. The environmental impact of these changes, in terms of the type of energy consumed, would differ by region.

The data center boom is slowing the clean energy transition in the U.S.

Two more studies have dropped into the middle of an intensifying debate over the impact of data centers on rising bills.

Soaring electricity demand from data centers may lead U.S. utilities to invest more in coal and gas plants.

The data center boom is driving huge energy and water use, yet its impact is poorly tracked in sustainability reporting, creating a gap that frameworks must address.
