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

Houston can become the world’s energy transition capital and accelerate activities to enable project economics and financing through its distinct advantages and capabilities. Houston’s community, companies, and energy financiers can leverage the strengths of the region to create an energy transition financing ecosystem that could become a benchmark for other cities in the United States and around the world.

Renewables are already the cheapest source of new power generation in most markets across the world. Cost declines due to technology evolutions and rapid policy advancements have triggered new investments, leading to further capacity additions and price drops. In the case of solar PV, investors and governments have come to expect continuously lower capex. In recent years however, as the technologies have matured, the capex of solar and wind has declined at a slower pace and become subject to temporary supply chain hurdles, such as the past year’s escalating shipment costs, rising module prices and escalating steel costs.

State and federal clean energy policies are driving an historic transition of the existing electric generating fleet in New York, including a dramatic increase in the development of clean energy projects. Mandates under the state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) require 70% renewable energy by 2030 and an emissions-free electric system by 2040. The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law by President Biden in August 2022, makes $370 billion available in tax credits and incentives to speed the country’s transition to clean energy technology – the most aggressive climate related action ever taken by Congress.

Transport is the largest producer of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the European Union (EU), contributing almost 30% to the total. Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), primarily commercial trucks and buses, are responsible for 26% of these emissions. Adoption of electric vehicles is expanding in the light-duty sector in Europe, but the heavy-duty sector relies almost entirely on internal combustion (diesel) powertrains; in 2021, zero emission HDVs represented only 1% of new HDV registrations in the EU.
