This paper models how modest improvements in Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Information and Compute Technology (ICT) efficiency can help offset the sharp rise in energy demand from AI and cloud computing workloads. It outlines a roadmap that, if adopted industry-wide, could cut projected 2030 energy growth by up to 17%, supporting a more sustainable digital infrastructure.
