Energy efficiency in data centres is no longer optional—it's essential. With India's AI growth driving unprecedented data demands, the need for sustainable and scalable energy solutions is more urgent than ever. In a recent piece for Outlook Business, titled Indian Firms' AI Dream Has a 'Power' Problem by Nabodita Ganguly in conversation with our founders, shared insights on the challenges of integrating renewable energy, such as solar, into data centers. While solar holds immense potential, space constraints often limit its use to as much as 25% of a data center's footprint, with the rest dedicated to operations. Addressing this challenge requires advanced solutions like hybrid energy systems, AI-driven optimization, and smarter energy infrastructure to balance sustainability with practicality. A great read for anyone interested in the intersection of AI, energy, and sustainability: https://lnkd.in/gWAF26C3 Enlog | Bharath Rnkawat | Jharna Saha #Electricity #Datacenters #Power #Energynews

If water savings becomes a Green Mark Criteria for Data Centres, will water savings of 1Mlitres/month meet the criteria? https://lnkd.in/gC_sqTFg #datacentre #watersavings #energysavings #dci #greenmark #brandbuildertalents
It's over 3 months since S'pore released 300MW for new data centres. Here's what to expect next. Even after a lengthy moratorium, S'pore imposed exacting standards on new data centres. This made the 300MW in May all the more surprising. 𝟭/ 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 Why the sudden about-turn? Let's look at the facts: - It has outsized carbon footprint with <10% renewables. - S'pore already has the highest density of data centres. - Modern 100MW+ data centres are untenable. On the other hand: - Strategic digital opportunities are slipping by. - Its role as a data centre hub is eroding quickly. S'pore needs to pivot: - A smart growth strategy is needed. - Can it turn green data centres into an opportunity? Here's two LinkedIn Articles I wrote on this topic: - Part A: The 300MW: https://lnkd.in/gZDZYjxZ - Part B: What's next: https://lnkd.in/gv7H77XY 𝟮/ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 The 300MW announcement and the Green Data Centre Roadmap leave ample leeway for IMDA to launch any number of initiatives. Let's zoom in on those we already know about. 𝟮𝗮. 𝗗𝗖-𝗖𝗙𝗔 𝟮 When I asked IMDA if the next Data Centre - Call for Application (DC-DFA) would be scrapped, the response made me think it would continue. I expect a new CFA but tweaked to support the Roadmap and with tightened conditions regarding deployment timeframes - the inaugural DC-CFA winners have yet to start work as of April. 𝟮𝗯. 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 The BCA-IMDA Green Mark for Data Centre scheme is an example of highly successful standard that is seeing adoption beyond S'pore. On this front, I expect an updated standard with a stronger focus on water usage efficiency (WUE), not just the use of NEWater. 𝟮𝗰. 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀 When I asked around, I was surprised that many industry insiders are sceptical of the 300MW. I feel this is partly due to how much larger data centres are today - a single campus could top 300MW by itself. This means there will be added pressure to award new data centre capacity quickly to demonstrate that S'pore remains a viable location for data centre growth. 𝟯/ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻 The clock is ticking as we come to the end of 2024. I would expect new developments to be announced any day soon, or at least the initiation of new consultations with the industry. I'll caution that an overtly consultative approach could be counterproductive, given the disparate agendas of industry stakeholders. This means a successful pivot will require strong tech leaders with deep industry knowledge to decisively advance the Roadmap. 📆 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 Don't be limited by what the LinkedIn algorithm shows you.
