Renewable Energy

As global concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability continue to grow, the role of renewable energy in powering data centers has become increasingly vital. Brazil, with its primarily renewable energy matrix, is emerging as a key player in this green revolution. Over the past three years, the country has seen significant agreements between data centers and renewable energy suppliers,

As the world continues to see a rising demand for electricity driven by the proliferation of data centers, energy analysts and policymakers are exploring new strategies to address this growing concern. According to a recent policy brief from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), one promising approach is to transform data centers into valuable assets that can support

The Iberian Peninsula is witnessing a transformative shift in its energy landscape, driven largely by the rapid expansion of data centers. These critical infrastructures are not only increasing electricity consumption but also fostering economic growth and technological advancements throughout the region. As data centers proliferate, their significant impact on energy demand and the broader industrial sector is becoming increasingly apparent.

In a dynamic move towards a sustainable future, Oklo has recently forged new partnerships with two prominent data center companies to supply up to 750MW of clean, low-carbon power through its fast fission power plants. These strategic collaborations mark a substantial expansion of Oklo’s customer pipeline to approximately 2.1GW across the United States, further solidifying its presence in the clean

As the UK accelerates towards its goal of a clean power system by 2030, the nation faces the dual challenge of expanding renewable energy investment while accommodating a substantial rise in electricity demand from data centers. The National Energy System Operator (Neso) has underscored the urgency of this task, highlighting the necessity for substantial investments in regional power networks and

In a world where data centers are crucial to the global digital economy and the adoption of artificial intelligence, their energy demands have become a significant challenge. As these centers work to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining consistent power availability, a recent white paper authored by Marcin Wegrzyn and Steven Carlini from Schneider Electric suggests that small modular reactors

New Zealand is set to become a pioneer in integrating green hydrogen power into the data center industry through an ambitious project marking a significant investment in renewable energy and cutting-edge technology. This groundbreaking endeavor is a collaboration between Mobii Green Energy Group and North Rakaia Ltd., which was formalized through the “Green Hi-City Cooperation Agreement” signed at Christchurch Town

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize industries, including the data center landscape. As AI applications become increasingly sophisticated, the demand for computational power is soaring, leading to a corresponding rise in energy consumption within data centers. This article delves into the current and future impacts of AI-driven data centers on energy efficiency

In an ambitious move signaling a shift towards renewable energy solutions, Australian company Earths Energy has begun exploring geothermal energy as a primary power source for data centers in Queensland. The company commenced an internal scoping study on September 19, 2024, to assess the feasibility of this novel approach, targeting specific locations in Queensland identified for their geothermal potential. Exploring

South Africa’s journey towards a digital economy is being hampered by an unreliable power grid, posing significant challenges for its burgeoning data center industry.
