SCS Project Aims To Create Energy-Efficient Data Centers Monday, July 14, 2025 According to projections, data centers around the world could double their electricity consumption by 2030. Driven by AI, data centers could claim 945 terawatt hours of energy in the next five years, a figure that’s greater than the current electricity consumption of Japan. With support from The Scott Institute for Energy Innovation’s seed grant program, Dimitrios Skarlatos will develop a proof-of-concept for a virtualization layer capable of performing fine-grained, efficient power management of GPUs.
