AI Summary

The energy consumption of data center servers is projected to increase across commercial buildings, with standalone data centers driving this growth. This trend is expected to continue, with server energy use reaching between 446 billion and 818 billion kilowatthours by 2050. The higher end of this range is associated with faster growth in server power draw and installed stock.
