Digitalization and energy consumption. Does ICT reduce energy demand
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the effect of digitalization on energy consumption using an analytical model, and investigate four effects: (1) direct effects from the production, usage and disposal of information and communication technologies (ICT), (2) energy efficiency increases from digitalization, (3) economic growth from increases in labor and energy productivities and (4) sectoral change/tertiarization from the rise of ICT services.
