Australian enterprises are experiencing rapid compute growth (34.5% over two years) alongside a projected 22% rise in power consumption. Despite this, uncertainty around renewable energy adoption remains high, with 51% of leaders unsure about their usage and only 47% confident in their power planning strategies. As AI and modernisation efforts drive increasing demand, organisations must bridge the gap between sustainability goals and real-world energy management.

 

Core Insights:
