Data Centers

24/7 Hybridized Renewable Energy

The emergence of AI, data streaming, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things has amplified the need for data centers. As the data center sector continues to expand, the grid is showing clear signs it can’t keep up: the phenomenal growth of data centers and their appetite for electricity threatens to exceed the capacity of utilities. The need for reliable, clean energy solutions compatible with highly specific operational requirements will be a challenge to the sector’s escalating growth.
