Data center users and operators have been facing some concerns with the 20% renewable goal by the year 2025.
Power issues have plagued the data center world for years. Floating data centers and solar centers have been brought up as part of the solution. As the 2025 deadline gets closer, data center users are getting more serious about energy usage percentages.
Data centers can utilize a microgrid to help mitigate any risk associated with implementing renewable energy. According to Navigant Research, in the second quarter of 2019 alone, 575 microgrids were installed or planned. These microgrids help reduce peak demand, direct energy costs, and can better store energy.
There are still obstacles facing the data center industry, such as trade agreements, government initiatives, and more. The good news is that more countries and more industries are getting on board to making our planet a little greener.
