Many large power consumers, like data centers, have corporate objectives of carbon neutrality, but find themselves having to achieve this through buying carbon credits to offset their carbon output. John Gould, Chief Revenue Officer of Enchanted Rock explores how hybrid microgrids can help data centers, and other large energy users, lead the way when it comes to achieving their net-zero carbon emission goals.
Dual Purpose Microgrids Provide Resilience and Grid Stability
Increasingly severe weather events and the resulting power outages (some lasting weeks) exacerbate challenges to grid reliability. Enchanted Rock explores how dual purpose microgrids can offer both value to site hosts as well as stability to the grid at large.
Microgrids Provide Clean and Resilient Alternative to Diesel Backup Power
Given goals for a cleaner U.S. power supply, utilities and policymakers may be seeking alternatives to a strategy of deploying diesel generators for backup power/resilience. Enchanted Rock compares microgrid solutions to see which alternative to diesel backup power can provide resilience while reducing emissions.
Data Microgrids on the Rise as the Colo Industry Deploys More Resilient Power Systems
The data center industry is on the lookout for ways to better meet society’s demand for “constant connectivity, content delivery, and a myriad of business and personal necessities.” That’s according to a new special report from Data Center Frontier in partnership with Microgrid Knowledge and distributer energy leader Enchanted Rock that explores the growing symbiotic relationship between microgrids and data centers.
