Chris Pennington, Director of Energy & Sustainability at Iron Mountain Data Centers, explains why a more collaborative approach to grid integration will be essential to supporting Europe’s digital growth.
Europe’s digital ambitions are growing rapidly. AI, cloud computing and the wider digital economy all depend on continued investment in data centre infrastructure. At the same time, Europe is modernising its electricity networks and pursuing ambitious decarbonisation targets.
These developments are often presented as competing priorities, particularly as grid capacity becomes increasingly constrained. In reality, they are becoming more closely connected. The challenge now is ensuring that digital infrastructure and energy infrastructure evolve together. That requires a different way of thinking about how data centres interact with the grid.
