Energy Transition



EFFICIENT DATA CENTER SITING | SMART LOCATIONS FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE

byAdam Robinson, Enverus Intelligence® | Research (EIR) Contributor
December 12, 2024


Explosive growth in artificial intelligence and the increasing prevalence of
cryptocurrency mining are sending data center expansion through the roof. This
surge, in combination with renewable energy volatility, is driving the need for
effective resource management in data center construction and siting. Developers
must quickly evaluate potential sites to stay competitive in the race for
high-quality locations. Key pillars in site selection include energy
availability, site quality and energy cost, with metrics such as available
withdraw capacity (AWC), available acreage and access to transmission and fiber
optic networks being crucial.

Enverus Intelligence® Research (EIR) has developed a workflow using Enverus
PRISM® – Power & Renewables suite data and analytics to streamline data center
siting. A case study examining the Cleveland area for 1,000 MW and 600 MW data
center developments identified fewer than 20 high-value sites, meaning 99.998%
were disqualified. EIR identified the Glenwillow and Hummel substations as ideal
for 1,000 MW projects due to their large AWC, while the Inland and Hummel
substations were best for 600 MW projects. The analysis demonstrated that while
adequate AWC is essential for successful site selection, other factors
contribute to site quality and can lead to better performance than high AWC
sites.







HIGHLIGHTS

 * Nuclear in Its AI Era – Enabling the Next Generation of Reactors  – Demand
   for computing power coupled with the surge of AI is prompting technology
   giants to pursue reliable, low-carbon power sources for data centers, fueling
   a resurgence in interest in nuclear power. EIR evaluates various IPP’s
   existing nuclear energy portfolios and their opportunities for large-scale
   deployments.
 * U.S. Power Grid – A Layered Landscape of Opportunities – This dynamic and
   interactive map provides a comprehensive view of the power asset landscape,
   including operating and developing projects across a variety of technologies,
   under-utilized plant capacity, and energy community tax credits, highlighting
   the most influential drivers of the U.S. energy transition. Designed to
   demonstrate the risks and opportunities within this evolving landscape, this
   map enables users to interact with data in innovative ways, unlocking
   critical insights.
 * Alternative Fuels M&A – From Policy Boosts to Business Resilience – Deal flow
   in the alternative fuels sector has surged over the past four years, driven
   by regulatory incentives and the maturation of technologies that lower
   investment risk. We take a deep dive into notable deals across five fuel
   types to determine the most dominant strategies driving M&A activity and
   speculate on the implications for future capital deployment in the sector.
