  • By 2019, the installed PC base will pass 3 billion units
  • Even accounting for growing use of Notebooks increased power use is impressive
  • This will create over 1 Terawatt  of new peak demand
  • By that point, over 300 GWs of new generation capacity will be required

Regulation Today:

  • EU – Energy Performance of Buildings Directive
  • Existing Buildings Energy Zero by 2018
  • Inspection and Ranking system
  • Responsible Employees must turn off PC’s at night in large companies
  • USA – Energy Star Ranking
  • Some State Regulation
  • Incentives from Utilities
