By participating in energy flexibility programmes, data centres can alleviate the challenges associated with the adoption of increasing amounts of renewable energy on the electricity grid. In doing so, they contribute to the decarbonisation of the electricity system, improve grid reliability and enhance their own site resilience, all while generating a new revenue stream.
1. Demand response programmes help support grid stability and generate extra revenue for the data centre.
2. By participating in Demand Response, data centres help to improve grid stability. This is essential to enable the transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy generation and achieve Net Zero targets.
3. No capital investment is required to participate in Demand Response. You use your existing energy assets and retain full control.
1. Data centres participate in ancillary services markets to address short-term variability in supply and demand.
2. Sudden changes in frequency can damage electrical infrastructure and result in power outages. Enel X enables data centres’ battery backup power to respond to frequency changes in milliseconds.
3. Enel X has unmatched experience in enabling data centres to participate in ancillary services markets.
1. In addition to participating in energy flexibility programmes, take a holistic approach to planning your wider energy strategy.
2. Enel X can help you drive new value from the energy storage and generation assets located across your wider business.
3. Turn idle assets into proactive drivers of reduced emissions, lower energy costs, and increased flexibility.
