Data centers are major consumers of electricity, both for powering servers and keeping them cool. Despite the progress that large data center operators have made in improving efficiency, power demand is expected to continue to grow steadily for the foreseeable future. While hyperscale operators have made great strides in shifting to renewable energy sources, the reality is that fossil fuels generate 60% of U.S. electricity

Business Challenge Widely classified as critical infrastructure, energy companies traditionally relied on the inaccessibility of their core technology environment to protect against threats. Today, energy companies are focusing on grid modernization, increasing connectivity between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) to provide myriad operational benefits and efficiencies. The environment has expanded to remote endpoints and networked devices used across the entire supply chain to improve collaboration, access and control. This interconnectedness, however, opens energy companies to considerable risk

Most companies run into significant challenges on the path to net zero. Many cannot get a handle on their current sustainability performance because it’s hard to aggregate data from a myriad of sources. Others are so overwhelmed with the financials, they freeze on their path to net zero or, worse yet, they never start. Even large businesses may struggle to make upgrades to bolster their buildings’ energy efficiency or afford expensive new equipment and smart building technology. Instead, immediate budgetary needs, like paying employee salaries and product development, take precedent.

As electric vehicles have rapidly matured, certain features that were never necessary for internal combustion engines have become critical to EVs’ operation: a power distribution unit; a battery disconnect unit; an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) controller; a battery management system; an onboard charger; a DC-to-DC converter. The trend is reminiscent of the growth in internal combustion engines’ electrical/ electronic architectures, where each feature required an electronic control unit — a separate box that took up precious space within a vehicle chassis. Every box needed its own software, its own connectors and its own housings, all of which resulted in added complexity and cost.

In 2011, Facebook was one of the first companies to commit to supporting its facilities with 100% renewable energy. Today, the company’s U.S. data center fleet is supported by 100% renewable energy, and Facebook is on track to maintain this commitment for future data center developments and expansions. Facebook’s ability to achieve this commitment is in large part due to its pioneering approach to renewable energy procurement, which to date has resulted in 55 new solar and wind projects adding 5,763 megawatts (MW) of clean electricity to the U.S. grid.
