  Is Front-of-the-Meter Power the Next Data Center Play?

  The article explains the emerging concept of front-of-the-meter power for data center operators and discusses why hyperscalers may pursue it, rather than reporting a specific new announcement.

  • Front-of-the-meter power means a data center operator develops or supports generation that feeds the grid, not just its own campus; the piece contrasts this with behind-the-meter generation and grid-supportive designs.
  • The article cites Meta, Apple, and Amazon as examples of companies connected to grid-related power strategies; it says Amazon has been linked to a possible front-of-the-meter arrangement for a large AI data center facility in Texas, but notes the company is still exploring options rather than committing.
  • The piece is explanatory/commentary, emphasizing that the model is still early-stage, capital-intensive, and subject to regulatory hurdles and interconnection delays.

  Powering the Digital Revolution Through Renewable Energy in India – EQ

  This article is an analysis/commentary piece about how India’s data centre expansion is increasing demand for renewable electricity; it does not announce a new deal for the first time, but references existing corporate renewable energy agreements and research estimates.

  • The article says Google, Amazon, Meta and Apple are driving demand for clean power as India’s data centres expand, with renewables, storage and grid infrastructure becoming more important for serving those loads.
  • It cites Anand Rathi research projecting renewable capacity needed for data centres in India to rise from 16.1 GW in 2026 to 32.4 GW by 2030, and data centre IT load from 2.7 GW to 5.4 GW over the same period.
  • It also references existing agreements: Meta covering nearly 1 GW of renewable energy, including 837 MW with CleanMax and 88 MW with Fourth Partner Energy; Amazon signing 199 MW of wind PPAs with CleanMax and BluPine Energy; and Google supporting a 150 MW solar project in Rajasthan.

  Could the Societal Value of Workloads Shape Data Center Policy?

  The article discusses a policy debate about whether data centers or their workloads could face future regulation based on societal value, rather than announcing a new project or rule.

  • A panel at Informa’s Data Center Europe event in Vienna (Oct. 13-15) said workload-based scrutiny may emerge, citing Finland’s grid connection rules that prioritize data centers under 1 MW.
  • Speakers from ADVANT d.o.o., ITIC, and the European Data Centre Association said current European regulation does not differentiate by workload type; the article frames the issue as speculative for now.
  • Background references include AI-driven growth, Goldman Sachs forecasts, and public criticism over power demand, water use, land consumption, and grid impact.
