•This is far higher than projections for Europe, China, Asia-Pacific and other regions, all expected to stay below 3%.
•Data centres’ power share in most regions has risen only modestly from about 1–2% in 2005.
•In the United States, the increase is steep, from roughly 1.5% in the early 2020s to the projected 2030 peak.
•Growth was relatively steady and low through the mid-2010s before accelerating around 2020.
