This new capacity is approximately
70% of the USA energy generation capacity
Today there are 200 million people in India’s middle
class. India produces 300 gigawatts of power, which
is less than a third of that in the U.S. This capacity is
widely viewed as insufficient to meet the aspirations
of India’s current middle class. By 2035, it is forecast
that India’s middle class will more than double, but
its electricity consumption will more than triple.
This energy footprint can be funded by the same
virtuous cycle that the developed nations used,
where energy drove growth and surpluses which
funded more energy capacity. However, due to the
impact of conventional energy consumption on
climate change, following the developed nations’
path is unsustainable. And expecting those in the
emerging economies to forgo the benefits of energy
is ethically and politically unacceptable. As the world
pursues cleaner forms of energy, HP can help drive

MORE SPENDING, MORE DEVICES, MORE DATA
Increased disposable income worldwide is leading to the
proliferation of devices and the compute-based services
they enable. To enable connected societies to operate more
efficiently, smart systems, appliances, and industrial Inter-
net of Things (IoT) endpoints are everywhere. The volume
of data generated by these devices is growing exponentially,
mostly at the network “edge.” The “edge” is where com-
pute devices interact with people or the world; it includes
compute resources no more than one network “hop” from
those devices. To extract full value from edge devices,
analytics must be applied to the data they generate. 2
The sheer scale of sensors and data can be difficult to
comprehend. For example:

Automated vehicles will generate and consume roughly
40 terabytes (TB) of data for every eight hours of driving. 3
A single twin-engine aircraft with an average 12-hour
flight time can produce up to 844TB of data. 4
Bombardier’s C Series jetliner carries Pratt & Whitney’s
Geared Turbofan (GTF) PurePower engine, which is
fitted with 5,000 sensors that generate up to 10GB of
data per second.

growth. In the emerging world, emissions continue to grow with GDP.
