Business as Usual Scenario

Around 65 mb/d of gross capacity needs to be installed between 2007 & 2030 – six times the current capacity of Saudi Arabia –

to meet demand growth and offset decline

Conclusions

Without new policies, the projected energy demand from information and communications technologies and consumer electronics will undermine our energy security and climate change mitigation.

The energy consumed by these gadgets will triple by 2030 to 1700 TWh (today’s total residential consumption of the US and Japan)

Higher efficiency technologies that are already available would half this demand

We need strong, robust government policies that ensure greater energy efficiency
