Microsoft May Delay 2030 Zero-Carbon Power Target as AI Data Center Expansion Drives Energy Needs

According to Bloomberg, Microsoft may delay or scrap its 2030 target to match all electricity use every hour with zero-carbon power, as AI data center expansion raises energy needs and costs. The 100/100/0 goal, announced in 2021, is stricter than the company’s annual renewable energy matching target, which it has already met. No final decision has been made.
