The Data Dilemma: Using Software to Curb Energy Demands in Government Data Centers

Behind every app, stream, and AI tool is a data center — and they’re consuming more energy than ever. For state and local energy offices, this creates a dual challenge: keeping the grid reliable today while preparing for a future with higher energy demands

The Energy Impact

Data centers account for 2% of global electricity use and could double by 2035. In the U.S., hyperscale centers already use as much power as small cities. When these facilities cluster together, they stress local grids and make it harder for agencies to meet climate and reliability goals.

Why This Matters for Government Agencies

State energy offices need smarter tools to navigate this new reality.

Software Solutions for Smarter Energy Management

Technology can help agencies turn a complex challenge into a manageable opportunity. For example:
