AI is driving rapid growth in data center power demand, while grid infrastructure can take years to expand. Data center operators are exploring new ways to secure reliable power, manage energy resources and accelerate time-to-power.​

This Vanguard Report by 451 Research by S&P Global – commissioned by Siemens - examines how microgrids can help AI-ready data centers respond to these challenges and become more active participants in the evolving power landscape.​

Key learnings:​

  • How data center microgrids can combine on-site generation, battery storage, intelligent controls and critical loads​
  • How behind-the-meter power for data centers can help address grid constraints and accelerate time-to-power​
  • How microgrids can support the transition toward a more multidirectional power grid​

Explore the report to understand the evolving role of microgrids in powering the next generation of AI-ready data centers.​
