We live in both the digital age and the net zero age

The apps, websites and AI assistants we use every day have an important role to play in making our businesses and homes more automated and efficient. EDF is an enthusiastic user of digital technologies for our own operations and for our net zero products and services. 

But behind every app, website or AI assistant are ‘cloud services’: physical infrastructure in the form of buildings and computing equipment that today consumes about 4% of the UK’s electricity. As we become more and more reliant on these technologies, that electricity demand will grow. The sector faces an urgent need to decarbonise.
