🔴 💻 **AI is set to drive surging electricity demand from data centres while offering the potential to transform how the energy sector works**

_“Global electricity demand from data centres is set to more than double over the next five years, consuming as much electricity by 2030 as the whole of Japan does today. The effects will be particularly strong in some countries. For example, in the United States, data centres are on course to account for almost half of the growth in electricity demand; in Japan, more than half; and in Malaysia, as much as one-fifth.”

UK PSA: RadioTeleSwitch Service to be withdrawn in June 2025 (30th June apparently).

If your electricity supply meter uses the RTS service to switch between peak and off peak rates then you need to ensure your electricity meter is updated as soon as possible.

Upgrading to a Smart Meter is the suggested option.

Technical details on the RTS service which send a phase modulated message via 198KHz on the BBC Radio 4 signal is covered by @officialm3hhy in this episode.

Actually not a bad design other than relying on Long Wave radio signals which uses 500KW valve based transmitters; the valves are now out of stock and no more are manufactured anywhere 🫤
