Data centers + cloud

A recent JLL report found that construction has leveled off — but planned-for capacity has nearly doubled to 22 gigawatts.

Some data center operators, including Microsoft, are experimenting with green hydrogen. That’s not necessarily realistic.

The tech giant’s chosen partner, Sage Geosystems, also builds long-duration energy storage.

Venkat Srinivasan, battery lead for the Argonne National Lab, said the storage world is waiting for the AI dust to settle.

The critiques of current carbon accounting guidelines are many and varied. But the AI race may be reshaping what's needed.

In light of the data center boom, the developer added three gigawatts of renewables to its project backlog last quarter.

The startup raised $300 million, which will be used first for securing land where power — ideally clean power — is easy to access.

A former Microsoft VP weighs in on the advantages of more efficient chips.

As demand for compute balloons, the AI infrastructure company Crusoe will soon be offering an intermittent processing option.

The company’s energy strategy head said the tech has real data center promise, but the risks are still too high for Microsoft to pioneer it.

Microsoft’s former VP of energy breaks down ways to deal with AI-driven load growth.

Load growth from data centers is increasing dramatically — the only question is by how much.

Many tech companies incorporate place-based emissions data into project siting decisions — but research suggests that Google may be an exception.

And for tech companies desperate to get their AI capabilities online fast, onsite gas microgrids may be preferable to new utility builds.
