Datasheet comparison
Power of verified replacement pairs
Replacing end-of-life devices with their vendor-designated successors cuts device power by 12.5% (286 of 2,384 devices with datasheets on both sides). This comparison covers 12.0% of the estate segment studied; it is not a whole-estate estimate or an electricity-cost saving.

Source: vendor datasheets. Pairs use matching typical ratings or matching maximum-load boundaries. Unverified successor relations and mismatched device roles are excluded. Replacement electricity cost cannot be compared because the successor mapping is not verified for every device.

Chart note: published country tariffs and published device power; installed device mix and powered-device counts differ across countries. These are modeled electricity costs, not observed bills.
The main driver
Tariff and device mix both matter
The published branch results span $760 per powered device-year. A higher tariff alone has its largest modeled branch effect in Sweden: $126 more per powered device-year than its published tariff view. Differences between countries also reflect the devices powered in each place, so the full range cannot be attributed to tariff alone.
What moves the number
- Tariff choice. Test the published country rate against the high-tariff assumption below.
- Device mix. Check the actual power ratings of the devices installed at each site.
- Powered coverage. Fill gaps in published power data before comparing a replacement path.

What if the highest published tariff stays flat?
The high view applies each country’s highest published annual tariff across the model period. It is a scenario, not Acme’s observed rate or spend.

Beyond branches
Modeled costs at other site tiers
Published-tariff estimates are available for selected campus, data center, and headquarters sites. These tiers have different equipment and should be read separately from branches.

Data center: United Kingdom $3,353 and United States $6,904 per powered device-year. The United States figure includes a large modular chassis at its datasheet fully-loaded rating; it is not a measured draw.
Coverage and limits
Published-tariff estimates for current devices cover 16 of 32 country and site-tier positions. The minimum uses total devices in a segment; the chart counts only devices with published power data. Sweden branch has 14 total devices and 6 powered devices; Singapore branch has 10 total and 5 powered devices.

Replacement electricity cost cannot be compared because the successor mapping is not verified for every device. The current-device estimates remain available. Efficient alternatives have no verified equivalent successor set, so their energy impact is not modeled.
