Data centres to drain 13% of energy grid

7News Just In

About this episode

Australia's energy regulator warns data centres will consume 13% of the electricity market by 2030, equivalent to the combined residential power usage of New South Wales and Victoria. Currently 165 data centres use 3% of grid electricity, but 225 projects are now in development, with the federal government requiring new centres to supply their own renewable energy. Opposition leader Angus Taylor crashed his bicycle during the Pollie Pedal charity ride in Queensland, misjudging a roundabout during the eight-day event supporting veterans.
