managing energy consumption a critical issue globally.<\/li>\n<li>CATL&#8217;s Robin Zeng refutes concerns that AI data centres will overwhelm power grids, particularly in China, advocating instead for creative and integrated approaches.<\/li>\n<li>The need to build efficient, sustainable energy systems for AI, while enhancing and not straining existing grids, drives innovative thinking and policy-making.<\/li>\n<li>The International Energy Agency forecasts that global data centre electricity consumption could reach 945 terawatt-hours by 2030, raising concerns about energy security and access.<\/li>\n<li>Efforts to improve data centre efficiency include developing specialized AI models, exploring advanced chip configurations, and improving battery technology for better energy storage and distribution.<\/li>\n<li>New regulatory frameworks, like China\u2019s requirement for new data centres to use 80% renewable energy, are driving progress in grid stability and battery technology.<\/li>\n<li>There is a focus on the scalability and compatibility of AI infrastructure with national and grassroots development, exploring community benefits and equitable cost allocation.<\/li>\n<li>Using AI to make energy systems flexible and capable of integrating with existing grids is essential for long-term solutions, including transforming stranded assets into digital hubs.<\/li>\n<li>The transition to flexible, system-wide thinking in design and innovation is essential for balancing energy affordability with community benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world&#8217;s biggest battery maker on AI&#8217;s energy demand
