  • STACK Infrastructure plans to build a new 216 MW data center campus in Ashburn, Virginia, powered with 100% renewable energy supplied by Dominion Energy

Electrical Infrastructure - Efficient and Sustainable Power Infrastructure Replacing Traditional Power Systems

  • The increasing demand for efficiency in facilities has fueled the growth of efficient infrastructure such as lithium-ion UPS systems, fuel cells, HVO, Natural Gas generators, nuclear energy reactors, and more.
  • Microsoft partnered with Plug Power to test a new power generation system with 3MW capacity, based on hydrogen as a fuel source.
  • Compass Data Centers and Foster Fuels made an agreement together to produce Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil- based biodiesel for Compass Data centers' generators.
  • EdgeCore is using Lithium-ion UPS batteries in its Ashburn Data center campus.
  • Google has partnered with Fervo Energy to develop a geothermal power project to add clean energy to the Nevada power grid.
  • Rolls Royce announced its plan to offer small nuclear reactors for U.S.-based cloud operators such as AWS, Google, and Microsoft.
  • Woodstock Power company provides nuclear gas power backup generators to the facilities.
  • Companies are using Microgrids and Smart grids to further stabilize power supply to the data center and back to the grid in the hour of need.
  • Microsoft has partnered with Eaton, which will outfit all of Microsoft's data centers with grid-interactive UPS.
  • Microsoft has partnered with Enchanted Rock for its new Datacenter in San Jose, USA, where it will complete a Microgrid project for the facility.

Mechanical Infrastructure - U.S. To Witness an Increase in Advanced Cooling Technologies

  • Increased deployment of artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads will increase liquid immersion and direct-to-chip cooling in the U.S. It will help companies bring down their PUW to 1.4 or below.
  • S. food company Cargill announced plant-based immersion cooling for its facilities.
  • Facebook (Meta) has planned to shift all its existing facilities to liquid cooling.
  • Companies have also adopted free cooling, zero-water cooling, and others to reduce their environmental footprint.
  • Cologix replaced condensing units in its New Jersey facility with air-cooling units supplied by Carrier.
  • T5 Data Centers deploy air-cooled chillers on all of its facilities.
  • QTS Realty Trust uses in-house developed zero-water cooling in all its new facilities.
  • Innovative cooling techniques, such as underwater data centers and free chillers-based cooling technologies, bring in more efficiency in data center cooling.

General Construction - Increasing Adoption of Sustainable Material in Construction of Data Centers in the U.S.

  • Hyperscale operators like AWS, Microsoft, Apple, and Google are taking the lead in using sustainable materials to construct facilities.
  • In their facilities construction, companies introduce technologies like green concrete, modular data centers, and more.
  • AWS and American Rock Products collaborate to develop sustainable concrete for a concrete mix for its facility.
