Computex 2025: Schneider Electric outlines sustainable AI energy plan

Schneider Electric showcase at Computex 2025 highlighted how AI-ready data centre solutions will address growing power demands and sustainability challenges.

On day two of Computex 2025 in Taipei, Ticker was invited to attend an exclusive tour of Schneider Electric’s booth. The tour provided a comprehensive overview of the company’s forward-thinking mission towards a net zero future, and offered great insights on solutions to manage AI’s rising energy usage.

Schneider Electric is aware of concerns about AI’s environmental impact and is using Computex 2025 to highlight its truly sustainable solutions for the rising power demand.

The International Energy Agency forecasts that global electricity demand from data centres will more than double by 2030, reaching approximately 945 terawatt-hours (TWh). AI is projected to significantly contribute to this demand.

To tackle these challenges, Schneider Electric is implementing solutions such as high-density power systems and advanced cooling technologies. The Galaxy VXL, a compact uninterruptible power supply, delivers up to 1.25 MW per frame and is designed for large workloads, offering significant space savings.

Schneider Electric also expanded its cooling portfolio by acquiring Motivair Corporation. This acquisition enhances their capabilities in thermal management, essential for high-density AI workloads.

Furthermore, partnerships with NVIDIA have resulted in new data centre designs that cater to liquid-cooled AI clusters, enabling high-performance infrastructure deployment.

Schneider Electric has launched a digital twin solution, in partnership with ETAP, to better manage AI factory power requirements.

Schneider Electric is focused on helping operators meet the energy challenges of AI while advancing sustainability initiatives, helping to remove negative stigma around AI’s energy usage.
