Data centers today are estimated to constitute nearly 2% of global energy consumption. The decade-old fear of runaway growth in data center energy consumption hasn’t occurred. Hyperscale cloud service providers (CSPs) have largely managed that concern, with the help of industry vendors, through IT virtualization and higher utilization of power and thermal management infrastructure. At the same time, enterprises, usually less efficient than CSPs at managing data centers, have transitioned many of their workloads and applications to the cloud.

In the United States, commercial-scale offshore wind energy deployment is at an early stage with only 42 megawatts (MW) generating power; however, the domestic industry is poised for an exponential increase in new installations after the first large commercial projects advanced to the construction phase in 2021–2022. Over the past 20 years, offshore wind energy got a head start outside the United States with the help of coordinated European offshore wind energy incentives.
