OSTI ID 3374245, DOI 10.71468/P1RP4F. Public PDF retrieved from https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/3374245 (the LBL eta-publications copy is bot-gated). Gives national-average PUE for facilities serving AI equipment: 1.145 in 2024, projected 1.136 in 2030; and the all-equipment national average improving 1.55 (2018) to 1.45 (2024), reaching 1.36 in the 2030 Reference Case. PUE is explicitly defined as total facility energy (cooling + power distribution) divided by IT equipment energy.
