Listen "Together in Electric Dreams - For Tech Giants, Powering Data Centers is Not All About Natural Gas"
Episode Synopsis
Tech giants such as Google, Amazon and Meta have long sought to meet their data-center power needs while at least limiting their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But while many developers and utilities have turned to natural gas to power data centers because of its ability to provide reliable 24/7 power, renewable generation continues to play a role, especially if it includes plans to utilize on-site battery storage.
