What the Data Shows
Regional data center electricity demand in the IEA 2030 Base Case measures each region’s share of a 945 TWh global total. The composition uses five regions: United States, China, Europe, Japan and other regions, with shares based on rounded IEA inputs. The United States and China together account for 74.7% of the 2030 total in the regional split. The values are scenario-based and rounded, so the page is framed as an IEA Base Case composition rather than final electricity statistics.

Data notes & caveats
Regional values use rounded IEA inputs and a residual other-regions segment. This page should be read as a Base Case scenario composition, not a final statistical table.
Methodology
The global denominator is the IEA 2030 Base Case total of 945 TWh. Regional values are built from IEA regional shares and growth increments recorded in the research brief, with other regions as the residual.
Source consistency notes
All global and regional inputs come from IEA Energy and AI, but row values use rounded source text.
