Australia is rapidly becoming a global leader in hosting large data centers, following strong federal and state policies that encouraged renewable energy and infrastructure investment. CleanTechnica reports this shift builds on the country’s rooftop solar success and highlights growing capacity for big-scale data operations.
PJM’s latest capacity auction failed to keep pace with surging electricity demand from data centers, highlighting shortcomings in its traditional procurement process. The grid operator is set to adopt a new approach intended to better secure generation and capacity resources.
New Jersey passed a law allowing data centers to finance residential energy-efficiency and electrification upgrades to reduce local demand. The program aims to help data centers secure clean capacity by lowering grid load elsewhere.
Virginia telah menggubal undang-undang baru yang menghalang daerah mengharamkan atau mengehadkan ladang solar besar, selepas hampir dua pertiga daerah sebelum ini melarang atau mengehadkan pemasangan tersebut. Langkah ini boleh membuka akses kepada tenaga bersih yang lebih murah bagi pengguna, walaupun permintaan elektrik meningkat kerana pusat data dan kos tenaga meningkat.
FERC mengarahkan semua operator grid wilayah (RTO) AS untuk menjelaskan atau mengubah cara pusat data disambungkan ke grid. Laporan Data Center Dynamics menyatakan arahan ini terpakai kepada semua RTO negara itu.
