Government to sue Leviste firm over terminated solar contracts

As Kerala’s power grid faces unprecedented strain with demand hitting an all-time high of 6,013 MW, KSEB is looking to secure emergency electricity at higher market rates. With the heatwave expected to last until mid-May, the board has requested permission to buy power at ₹10 per unit to avoid shortages. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/kseb-seeks-nod-for-10-per-unit-power-purchase-as-kerala-demand-hits-record-high-os6veay1?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #KeralaPower #KSEB #EnergyCrisis #KeralaSummer #ElectricityDemand

Kerala records a peak electricity demand of 5,802 MW, with 10.8 crore units consumed. KSEB monitors supply amid heat, LPG shortages, elections and exams. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/kerala-electricity-demand-record-high-kseb-if4h7g3l?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #KSEB #ElectricityDemand #PeakPower #EnergyConsumption #Kerala

UN Agency reports that carbon emissions for major tech companies ballooned in the 3 years 2020-2023:
Amazon grew 182%
Microsoft 155%
Meta 145%
Alphabet 138%

AI/LLMs were major contributors to the increases.

Digital companies used 581 TWh electricity in 2024, about 2.1% of global demand.

Sustainable? Helping, or hurting the #ClimateCrisis ?

Following up on an earlier post about how energy-intensive generative AI/LLMs are, here's news about how Google is supporting the development of three nuclear power plants (locations TBD), which should produce 1.8 gigawatts of energy.

Note that estimates say 50+ gigawatts of additional power generation will be needed by 2027 to support AI initiatives... :-(

"Electricity demand from global data centers could more than double by 2030 to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh). That’s more than the entire electricity consumption of Japan"

'nuff said!

"Global #ElectricityDemand is expected to grow by 4% each year through 2027, the IEA said in a report on Friday."

Low-emissions energy sources such as renewables and nuclear are expected to match global demand growth trends as they continue to edge out coal's share in the power mix, the report said."
