Another article that misrepresents the situation with hyperscale datacenters. They are concentrating loads into extremely efficient cloud facilities, which shifts a lot of energy from one column to another in EIA's reports. It used to be if you had a 100kW corporate datacenter with a PUE of 3.0 and a cost utilization of 1%, that was counted under "commercial buildings" or "office". With those workloads now running in PUE 1.1 datacenters where the cost utilization is 80%+, the true situation is much better, but the energy use is in another column.
