It was predicted that by year 2030, this percentage will triple if the required wattage for every gadget is 280 gigawatts of new generating capacity. This numbers was presented in their new book “Gadgets and Gigawatts: Policies for Energy Efficient Electronics” which covers a global assessment of residential energy consumption over the past decade.
