This report provides an overview of the competitive dynamics in the market, a listing of the competitors in the area, market share of the dominant providers, supply-demand and utilization trends, and discussion of planned multi-tenant datacenter builds.
Datacenters have long warranted close attention from electricity providers due to their prodigious appetite for energy. The breakout of computationally intensive artificial intelligence into the mainstream, however, has brought them front and center in the US energy industry.
Datacenter energy consumption is already stressing grids in highly developed markets; with AI applications expected to exponentially increase datacenter demand, energy providers are scrambling to find solutions to address potential energy shortfalls.
Dominion Energy's new integrated resource plan aims to extend the life of its fossil fuel-generation plants to keep the grid reliable in the face of new demand in the market, mainly from datacenters. Yet the state has mandated that its power generation be on a path toward 100% clean energy.
451 Research estimates that U.S. datacenters consumed about 268 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy in 2019, and that number is growing steadily each year. The industry is seeing pressure to clean up its act, but the buck doesn't stop at energy consumption. This report outlines key issues of sustainability facing the datacenter industry today and explores how companies should be thinking about, and responding to, those issues and what opportunities lie ahead.
