The rapid expansion of data centres is fuelling an urgent need for sustainable energy solutions. As demand for cloud computing and AI accelerates, investors, developers, operators, hyperscalers, and end users must find ways to minimise carbon footprints while ensuring reliable, efficient power. But what are the most viable pathways forward?

This podcast will investigate the energy landscape shaping the future of data centres, discussing the low-carbon pathways being taken. It will look at the growing importance of clean energy use for data centres, ask what energy types will be needed to ensure efficient supply, if carbon offsets are required to efficiently meet energy demands, and the potential technologies that will become more important with the rise of AI, providing a pathway to balancing sustainability and resilience in a power-hungry digital era.

Grid-scale energy storage systems such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are revolutionising the clean energy landscape. As renewable energy sources continue to expand, their intermittency is a challenge for grid stability. BESS mitigates this by storing excess energy to balance supply and demand and enhance energy resilience. Advanced storage systems are accelerating the transition to a low carbon future, and playing a crucial role in improving grid efficiency.

This episode will discuss advancements in battery technology that are making large-scale long duration energy storage more cost-effective and efficient. It also looks at investments being made by governments and the private sector, and explores how these systems can transform energy markets.
