How to be a good grid citizen
Being a good grid citizen is no longer optional. Around the world, regulators, utilities, and communities are calling for data centers to play a more active role in supporting grid resilience, enabling renewable integration, and maintaining power quality. The industry must evolve from being a passive energy consumer to a proactive energy partner.
As such, we need to explore how advanced technologies such as grid-interactive UPS systems, intelligent microgrids, and smart energy management platforms are making this transformation possible. With the right infrastructure, data centers can not only reduce their impact on the grid - they can help stabilize it, lower energy costs, and accelerate decarbonization too.
We set out to develop a roadmap to a more sustainable, intelligent, and integrated energy future - one where data centers are not just connected to the grid, but committed to improving it.
