Co-Located Renewable Systems to Power AI Revolution
Apex Clean Energy has highlighted the urgent need for new energy solutions due to the anticipated demand from data centers, which are projected to require 63 GW of new capacity by 2030—a 160% increase from current levels. The aging electric grid and lengthy interconnection timelines have prompted the adoption of co-located renewable systems, allowing for direct power supply to data centers, significantly improving time-to-power and sustainability. By utilizing a mix of wind, solar, and energy storage, these systems can meet a large percentage of data center electricity needs efficiently and reliably.
