Saving our planet depends on creating a more sustainable future. Reduce electricity consumption is one of them. Of course, technology giants play a big role here. However, the shared data shows that things are still not going well without reducing electricity consumption.

Data shared via X by the user named Michael Thomas, Microsoft and Google revealed data on electricity consumption. In the data, companies Consumes 24 TWh (terawatt hours) of electricity was seen.

They consume more electricity than over 100 countries!

If we look at the data shared a few days ago, we can see that Google and Microsoft, which are among the largest companies in the world, consume incredible amounts of electricity. So much so that in 2023, companies will use 24 TWh of data. Higher electricity than over 100 countries It means it consumes.

Among countries where companies outpaced consumption Azerbaijan, Jordan, Iceland, Ghana, Dominican Republic, Tunisia and there are many more countries. This huge consumption reveals the environmental impact of both tech giants and shows us how important the steps these companies will take will be. Data centers and artificial intelligence are moving We can think that this increase is effective at this high consumption.

In short, it is imperative that these companies step up their sustainability game. Since electricity consumption is greater than that of over 100 countries, that is not a good thing. If the right steps are taken and renewable energy sources are used more, we can see much better results. Google in 2023 $307 billion,Microsoft $211 billion Let’s point out that it generates revenue. In other words, they are bigger than the economies of many countries.
