Power moves: How the future of the grid will impact the next wave of data centres

Data centre energy demands, fuelled by the relentless growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and cloud computing, are surging across EMEA, threatening to outpace the capacity of local grids. This is prompting data centre owners and developers, as well as utilities, to scramble for solutions.

AI and ML not only increase demand for data centre space but also the computational power needed. As AI models grow in size and complexity, they require more GPU chips, leading to higher server rack density and escalating power and cooling demands.

This ebook provides an in-depth breakdown of:

• Ai and the Data Centre industry

• Current state of EMEA power grids

• Regional risks

• Potential bridge power solutions

• How to select the right data centre location
