PUE connects IT load to facility load
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is commonly expressed as total facility energy divided by IT equipment energy. Real utility bills may also include demand and capacity charges.

Estimate the operating cost of data center power
Energy cost depends on IT load, operating hours, electricity price, and facility overhead. For broader facility planning, power usage effectiveness (PUE) can help relate IT energy to total facility energy consumption.
Use the estimate for scenario planning
Compare current load with proposed server, storage, network, or AI infrastructure. Small changes in continuous power draw can become significant when multiplied across 24-hour operation and an entire year.
