In the originally published version of this article, the authors inadvertently cited an incorrect source for the following statement: “…and a study commissioned by the EC anticipates that ‘the energy consumption of data centers and telecommunication networks will grow with an alarming rate of 35% and 150% respectively over 9 years’ (from 2018).90’ The correct reference [90] is European Commission (2018). Expert and stakeholder consultation workshop on Research on Green ICT 2020-2030. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/expert-and-stakeholder-consultation-workshop-research-green-ict-2020-2030. The original reference [90] should instead be [95] and all subsequent references renumbered accordingly.
These errors have now been corrected online, and the authors apologize for any confusion they may have caused.
