KEY TRENDS

Growing Adoption of Renewable Energy Will Drive Data Center Power Market Growth

- The trend of procuring renewable energy to power its data centers is still high across many regions and countries. As a measure to reduce carbon emissions, the data center operators are signing several power purchase agreements with renewable energy companies to procure renewable energy such as solar, wind, and geothermal. For instance, in March 2025, Google signed a new 10-year PPA with Exus Renewables to procure 33 MW of wind power in Spain.
- Data centers are among the largest consumers of power, accounting for 1-3% of the world's total energy use. Data center operators like Amazon Web Services, Meta (Facebook), Google, and Microsoft have committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions, using renewable energy purchase agreements (PPAs) to support their sustainability targets.

Introduction of HVO Fuel for Generators

- The data centers are facing increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and operate sustainably. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) has emerged as a viable low-carbon alternative to diesel fuel for backup generators. HVO is a type of renewable diesel produced by hydrotreating waste vegetable oils and animal fats, making it a drop-in replacement for conventional fossil diesel.
- Several operators in the data center power market around the world have either deployed HVO fuel or are currently testing it. Some of these operators include Compass Datacenters, Vantage Data Centers, Digital Realty, STACK Infrastructure, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, Scala Data Centers, DataVita, Verne, AWS, and several others.

Emergence of Advanced UPS Batteries

- According to the latest report on the data center UPS market, Li-ion batteries are poised for significant growth in the data center UPS market, surpassing VRLA by 2030.
- In the ever-changing world of data center operations, a noticeable trend toward modern battery technology, like lithium-ion batteries, is growing, pushing the adoption of novel solutions. One such idea is the integration of seamless battery replacement without interrupting the power supply, ensuring safety and minimal business downtime. For instance, Elektros, US US-based Li-ion battery developer, announced it to offer its Li-ion batteries for UPS in data centers across the world.
- The upcoming Sydney facility by AWS will be equipped with emergency backup generators, diesel and Li-ion battery storage, a substation, and associated infrastructure in terms of power.

DATA CENTER POWER MARKET'S SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

- The global data center power market, particularly in terms of UPS System Capacity, is primarily seeing the use of UPS systems that exceed 1,000 kVA in capacity. Colocation providers rely heavily on high-capacity UPS systems to ensure a continuous power supply. This emphasizes the importance of advanced power solutions for maintaining reliable data center operations worldwide.
- Increasing availability of advanced gas and bi-fuel generators reflects ongoing research and development by market leaders. When integrated with data centers, these generators offer efficient power solutions by operating alongside grid supplies. Equinix is equipped with a 4,000 kVA diesel generator in a 2N configuration in SY9x in Sydney, Australia.
- In 2024, diesel generators remained more prevalent in Middle East and APAC data centers compared with those in America and Europe due to less stringent carbon emission regulations and greater availability of diesel backups, surpassing alternatives like natural gas and bio-fuel generators.
- In addition, the adoption of HVO as a sustainable fuel for data center generators is gaining momentum globally, with significant developments anticipated between 2025 and 2030. For instance, AWS is reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its European data centers by using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) in backup generators. This change contributes to AWS's target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, aligning with its commitment under the Climate Pledge, which includes over 400 participants.
