What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-CI-2026-024 · Evidence A · P0

IEA estimated data centres used about 415 TWh, or 1.5% of global electricity consumption, in 2024 and modeled a base case of about 945 TWh in 2030; the latter is a scenario, not commissioned demand.

D09 · Legal, Compliance, Trust & RegTechD21 · Economy, Work & Business-model FuturesD24 · Frontier Science & Wildcards

What this does not establish

945 TWh is not observed current consumption or already contracted load.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

AI efficiency, utilization, hardware, siting, network constraints and demand response can shift the path.

What would change the reading

Update with revised IEA scenarios and metered jurisdictional data.
