Data Center World 2025

In this session, we will explore the design and implementation of behind-the-meter microgrids to enhance the resilience, efficiency, and sustainability of data centers. As data centers face increasing demands for uptime and energy efficiency, integrating natural gas-powered microgrids offers a reliable, scalable solution that operates independently of the main grid, ensuring continuous power during outages.

Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of deploying microgrids for data centers, including improved energy security, reduced costs, and enhanced environmental compliance. We will also discuss the smaller physical footprint of clean-burning natural gas microgrids compared to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, which require significantly more space to deliver comparable power outputs.

Additionally, this session will highlight how microgrids can meet both short- and long-term energy needs, providing a firm energy source that adapts to evolving demands. With fuel flexibility, emissions reduction, and advanced monitoring systems to optimize operations, natural gas-powered microgrids are a superior option for sustainable and reliable data center power solutions. Whether you're looking to increase sustainability or enhance reliability, this session offers actionable strategies to meet your data center's energy goals.
