Responding to a 2024 survey, data center owners and operators reported an average annual power usage effectiveness (PUE) ratio of 1.56 at their largest data center. PUE is calculated by dividing the total power supplied to a facility by the power used to run IT equipment within the facility. A lower figure therefore indicates greater efficiency, as a smaller share of total power is being used to run secondary functions such as cooling.

The average annual Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of Equinix data centers worldwide in 2023 was 1.42, down from 1.46 in 2022. PUE is calculated by dividing the total energy delivered to a data center facility by the amount of energy used on IT equipment. Therefore, a lower PUE figure implies a more efficient data center as less energy is used to run secondary functions such as cooling.

Large data center operators aim to get their PUE ratio as close to 1 as possible, with the current average being 1.5. Numerous new data centers from hyperscalers and colocation providers offer greater efficiency than those running older technologies. Google ranks top in the list with the most power-efficient cloud provider with a 1.1 PUE ratio.
