During Climate Week NYC, the energy and climate world is focusing on the importance of sustainable data centers powered by clean energy. States like California, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Massachusetts are taking steps to shape the build-out of data centers for the benefit of communities and businesses. Efforts include setting strong rules, incentivizing clean energy, improving energy efficiency, and limiting water use in data centers. By maximizing the use of solar, wind, and storage energy sources, policymakers are recognizing the economic benefits of sustainable data centers and working to modernize the power grid for a more sustainable future.
