Abstract

Publicly available published Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) and Water Usage Efficiency (WUE) of US data centers in 2024 and 2025. Google: https://datacenters.google/efficiency/*2025 q1-q3, 2024 q1-q4 Meta: https://sustainability.atmeta.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Meta_2025-Environmental-Data-Index.pdfNote from Meta: *WUE calculated as water withdrawn per estimated IT electricity, where IT electricity was obtained by dividing published facility electricity by the fleetwide average PUE=1.08 (page H). Microsoft: https://datacenters.microsoft.com/sustainability/efficiency/Note from Microsoft: *Data for July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024, based on datacenters which we fully own and control, and which were operational for 12 months at the time of calculation.AWS: https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/products-services/aws-cloudNote from Amazon: *The following data includes average PUE and WUE ratings for data center regions designed and operated by AWS between January 1 and December 31 of each year.
