415TWh
TWh used by data centres worldwide
Around 1.5% of world electricity consumption, according to the IEA.
Public data, plainly sourced

AI electricity evidence is scattered across company reports, research models, and projections. GREEENER.ai brings those fragments together, then works toward utility-backed records with boundaries people can actually compare.
Headline evidence
Electricity demand is moving faster than the evidence around it
The figures describe data centres, not AI workloads alone. That boundary is exactly why facility and utility evidence matters.
945TWh
Base-case projection for 2030
A projection, not a measured result. IEA base case.
176TWh
U.S. data centre electricity
4.4% of U.S. electricity, per Berkeley Lab.

Company disclosures
Three figures, three boundaries
These disclosures help show scale. They do not isolate AI workload electricity, and their reporting scopes are not aligned.
Comparability note. Different scopes, boundaries, and reporting periods. Read these as scale indicators, not a league table or clean ranking.

Every number needs a status
Electricity use, renewable procurement, and emissions are different records. This preview reports electricity evidence only.
CD
Company disclosure
A figure the company published, with its own boundary and period.
ME
Modeled estimate
A value derived from a model, clearly marked as an estimate.
P
Projection
A forward-looking scenario. Never dressed up as a measurement.
UC
Derived unit conversion
A published figure converted to a common unit, with the conversion shown.
UV
Future utility verification
The goal: meter-backed records with a clear facility, period, and boundary.
Provenance workflow
From a public claim to a comparable record
This is the workflow GREEENER.ai intends to build. It does not imply current utility partnerships or verified customer records.
Gather
Capture the original value, period, unit, source, and disclosed boundary.
Start with what is disclosed. Keep modeled values separate from measured ones. Make the missing evidence impossible to overlook.
Request
Seek utility evidence or a partnership to verify meter-backed records.
Request or partner for meter-backed evidence and permission to verify it.
Normalize
Align the boundaries before comparison.
Make facility scope, calendar, units, and exclusions visible before comparison.
Publish
Release comparable records with provenance attached.
Release comparable records with the source and limitations beside the number.
Coverage gaps
A public record, with the caveats attached
Start with what is disclosed. Keep modeled values separate from measured ones. Make the missing evidence impossible to overlook.

Restaurant energy has a boundary problem too
Operating hours and equipment can frame the question, but they do not reveal a site’s actual electricity or fuel use.
What a useful record needs: Utility-backed electricity and gas, opening period, kitchen boundary, and a method for shared premises.
Missing evidence is the finding: no directly comparable restaurant figures are presented in this preview.
Future coverage · evidence gap
Clinical reliability changes the load story
A clinic, imaging centre, and dental practice do not share one operating profile.
What a useful record needs: Utility-backed consumption, facility type, floor area, operating period, and treatment of shared or always-on equipment.
Missing evidence is the finding: no directly comparable medical or dental figures are presented in this preview.
Future coverage · evidence gap
A venue is not the same thing as an event
Public schedules can show when a venue operates, not which loads belong to the performance, the building, or a tenant.
What a useful record needs: Utility-backed consumption, venue boundary, occupied dates, temporary equipment, and a declared allocation method.
Missing evidence is the finding: no directly comparable entertainment figures are presented in this preview.
Future coverage · evidence gap
A room-night needs a real denominator
Occupancy can help normalize a hotel’s consumption only when the energy boundary also accounts for kitchens, laundries, pools, and shared facilities.
What a useful record needs: Utility-backed electricity and fuel, reporting period, occupancy, service mix, and a boundary for shared amenities.
Missing evidence is the finding: no directly comparable hotel figures are presented in this preview.
Coming soon
Evidence that can survive the next question
GREEENER.ai is for prospective investors and utility partners who want energy claims to remain inspectable. The public preview is here now; verified records are the work ahead.
