How the calculation works
Annual facility energy (kWh) = IT MW × 1,000 × average load fraction × operating hours × PUE.
Energy cost = annual kWh × energy-only tariff. Indicative location-based emissions = annual kWh × average emissions factor ÷ 1,000, expressed as tonnes CO₂e. Full-load facility power = IT MW × PUE.
Scenario reduction = baseline annual energy × your assumed reduction percentage. The resulting cost difference uses the same tariff. This is a sensitivity calculation, not a prediction of AI-driven savings.
This simple proportional model omits idle draw, non-linear cooling, hourly load and supply, demand charges, taxes, network losses, redundancy and capital costs. It does not size a grid connection, verify renewable matching, calculate market-based emissions or establish avoided emissions. Use site measurements and professional engineering for decisions.
