Navigating the growing risks in power grid connectivity
Wednesday 12 Feb 2025
With renewable energy development outpacing infrastructure upgrades, data centres face mounting risks in power reliability. Hybrid power solutions, including gas generators, could bridge the gap.
The global energy landscape is changing rapidly, but the electricity grid infrastructure is struggling to keep pace. As renewable energy sources such as solar and wind surge ahead, the underlying power grids, designed decades ago, are now showing their age. Their lack of expansion and buildout to modern demands is becoming increasingly problematic, especially for data centres, which are some of the largest consumers of electricity.
