While the aim for the data centre sector should be to increase sustainability, currently renewable energy sources are not reliable enough to facilitate a universal switch to renewables – sources such as wind and solar are intermittent at best, and increase grid instability as there is no guarantee of access to energy when it is required. Clearly, diesel generators are not the answer, but generators powered by natural gas may be able to support a data centre’s sustainability goals, reducing dependency on the electric grid and even being able to offer grid balancing services.
