Data centers are the backbone of the online digital world we all rely upon - and they are increasingly adding much-needed resilience and flexibility to energy generation and distribution networks. Thanks to technological innovations and corporate focus on sustainability through initiatives such as the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, most data centers are already highly efficient consumers of electricity.

In 2024, it seems highly likely that demand for capacity will continue to grow at pace. Most of the key trends identified by the likes of Gartner, Accenture, Forbes, and other expert commentators point to ever more compute and storage needs.

The market for data centres in EMEA is expected to grow annually by 5.5% to reach $65.66 billion by 2027. This growth is driven by the massive demand for data storage and processing as we all live increasingly digital lives. COVID lockdowns enforced radical and rapid changes in the way people work and socialise online, creating huge boost for hybrid and online work as well as streamed entertainment and social media. As we emerge from the crisis these changes will not only remain but accelerate.
