Global energy demand is on the rise, driven by the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the increasing reliance on data centers. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global power demand surged in 2025, fueled by the expanding use of EVs, which require significant amounts of electricity to charge. As data centers continue to play a crucial role in the digital economy, their energy consumption is also on the rise, putting a strain on the global power grid. The IEA's report highlights the need for a more sustainable and efficient energy system to meet the growing demands of these emerging technologies.
