The study finds that off-grid generation could deliver both lower costs and emissions than conventional grid power. It highlights the feasibility of using hybrid renewable energy systems that combine wind, solar, gas and battery storage to provide reliable and sustainable energy to data centres without access to grid connections.
The journey of solar power adoption in data centers and IT infrastructure dates back to the early 2000s when companies started exploring renewable energy sources. However, it wasn't until the last decade that significant strides were made, thanks to advancements in photovoltaic technology and decreasing costs.
A wide variety of financing structures are being used in the sector, including the development of rated data center securitisations. Key Performance Indicators are not standardised but typically focus on energy and water efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. Sustainability is becoming an increasing focus for sponsors, borrowers and lenders.
Companies can install solar panels on rooftops, parking lots, or adjacent land to maximize solar energy generation. Power storage solutions, such as batteries, enable data centers to store excess energy for use during periods of low solar generation or high energy demand.
