Illustrative Annual Cost to Power One Data Center Rack (by Density, PUE, & Electricity Rate) This table shows how rack density, PUE, and location dramatically impact annual costs. An AI-capable 60 kW rack in a high-cost state could exceed $200,000 annually, underscoring the financial implications of high-density infrastructure.
The digital age is driven by data centers, yet their escalating energy demands pose a significant challenge. Currently consuming approximately 1% of global electricity, this figure is projected to rise dramatically, with U.S. data centers potentially using up to 9% of the nation's power by 2030.
Los Angeles is not unfamiliar with natural disasters, including earthquakes, fires, and mudslides. Lower cost data center markets in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Oregon ofer more afordable alternatives. Northern California remains a top 10 global data center market and has the highest barriers to entry of any U.S. market.
The annual cost of powering a rack is determined by its IT power, the facility's PUE, continuous operation (8760 hours/year), and local electricity rates. Annual Cost = Rack IT Power (kW) × PUE × 8760 hours/year × Electricity Rate ($/kWh) This cost factors in IT equipment, cooling overhead, power infrastructure losses, and other facility overheads.
