Data Center Power Infrastructure Challenges

With data center infrastructure projected to more than triple from 2020 to 2030 to support 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and media content traffic, data centers will be responsible for the largest energy demand increase of any sector. Data center owners and operators face the challenge of ensuring an adequate and continuous power supply while navigating complex regulatory requirements, volatile energy prices, local power availability, and lengthy interconnection queues with local utilities.

Growing Power Demand
AI, cloud computing, and digital services are driving unprecedented energy requirements.
Power Availability & Grid Constraints
Available power capacity remains limited in many high-growth markets.
Utility Interconnection Delays
Lengthy utility queues can slow access to the power needed for expansion.
Regulatory Complexity & Energy Cost Uncertainty
Evolving regulations and volatile energy prices add planning and operational challenges.

Testimonial
Ameresco has experience deploying over 5 GW of resilient and renewable energy resources and a broad portfolio of solutions that address both supply and demand.
We have an unparalleled ability to integrate resources behind the meter to meet the ever-increasing energy requirements of data centers. Our diverse suite of solutions and services is designed to optimize energy efficiency, ensure reliable performance, and enable scalability in both on-site generation and grid-connected infrastructure.

Data center operators face increasing power requirements driven by AI, cloud computing, and digital services. Common challenges include limited utility capacity, interconnection delays, reliability requirements, energy costs, and sustainability objectives.

Organizations may evaluate a combination of utility infrastructure upgrades, onsite generation, battery energy storage systems, microgrids, and other energy resources to supplement available utility power and support project timelines.

Behind-the-meter power refers to energy resources located on the customer side of the utility meter, such as onsite generation, battery energy storage, solar energy, and microgrids. These resources can improve reliability, flexibility, and power availability.

Microgrids integrate distributed energy resources and controls that can help maintain power during grid disruptions while enhancing energy reliability and operational flexibility.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can improve resilience, support load management strategies, enhance power quality, and help optimize energy usage.

Many organizations deploy a combination of energy efficiency measures, renewable energy resources, battery storage, onsite generation, and energy management strategies to support both reliability and sustainability objectives.

Ameresco provides development, engineering, financing, construction, and operations expertise with experience integrating distributed energy resources and energy infrastructure solutions designed to support mission-critical environments.
