Hungarian reports examine the energy, water and mineral demands of AI data centres
Grant Thornton Hungary addresses AI sustainability issues, citing an energy demand of 945 TWh, and several Hungarian articles cover similar topics. According to one, a large data centre today consumes the electricity of 100,000 households, while the largest under construction could use as much as two million.

- Hungarian public opinion and regulation may grow more sensitive to data centres' electricity and water use, so the figures need to be handled with preparation.
