Securing a reliable power supply at scale continues to constrain data center developers' ability to meet their tenants' needs in a timely manner. In response, data center developers are increasingly re-examining their usual suite of energy solutions to overcome this constraint.
Recent innovations in geothermal drilling technology have positioned geothermal energy as an increasingly viable solution in data centers' energy supply landscape.
Understanding Geothermal Energy
Geothermal is a long-established energy resource that is clean, reliable, and capable of delivering 24/7 power. It harnesses the Earth's naturally occurring heat, whether from existing underground steam and hot water or through engineered circulation in hot rock, and converts that thermal energy into electricity at the surface using conventional turbine technology.
