A primer on connecting UPS systems to the grid

All too often, utility grids can’t provide power when you need it. Data centers are increasingly looking at alternatives

We have heard how great hydrogen will be as an energy source. But how do you get it?

Microsoft has signed a PPA for fusion power. Is this a serious proposition?

As more operators adopt HVO, are the supply chains ready?

We’ve heard talk of nuclear-powered facilities for some years. Could the time have arrived?

The local power landscape can give you autonomy, save money, and maybe provide you with better backup

QTS on how to deploy data centers for hyperscalers in a grid-constrained world

We talk to Alan Howard of analyst firm Omdia and Compass Data Centers' Tony Grayson about SMRs

Can you reach net-zero while helping to provide clean power where the world needs it most? We kick the tires on a new kind of REC

Wind turbines are getting larger, but so are the challenges of deploying them

UPS systems produce a very small part of the emissions from a data center, but operators are being very inventive in ways to reduce them

With electric power grids stressed, and long-term energy supplies in question, data centers may find themselves making more use of diesel backup power in the coming months

On-site solar and wind are growing, but can cell sites ever be independent of the grid at scale?

Here’s how to get reliable energy data - and why we badly need it

As exascale system power requirements reach tens of megawatts, on-premise facilities are becoming less feasible

New to these parts? Start here for the basic introduction

What’s next for energy efficiency metrics in the data center industry?

We talk to the former Norwegian politician who wants to make sure that energy doesn’t get wasted

There’s a major shift happening in server hardware, and it’s emerged from a surprising direction: the humble network card

Could the answer to a stable grid be literally all around us?

Could waste data center energy be stored by lifting concrete blocks?
