New research reveals that tech giants Google and Microsoft consumed 24 terawatt hours each in electricity in 2023, exceeding the rate of consumption in more than 100 countries.
According to the research, both Google and Microsoft consume the same amount of energy as Azerbaijan, which has a GDP of $78.7 billion. Google's revenue for 2023 was more than $307 billion, and Microsoft's revenue was $211.9 billion.
The massive use of energy underscores the significant environmental impact of these companies. Nevertheless, it is also a reminder of their sheer scale and the positive impact they can have on more sustainable pioneering initiatives.
