Description

The global data center generator market size by investment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.15% from 2024 to 2030.

DATA CENTER GENERATOR MARKET KEY TRENDS

Introduction of HVO Fuel for Generators
  • The data centers are facing increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and operate sustainably. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) has emerged as a viable low-carbon alternative to diesel fuel for backup generators in the data center generator market. HVO is a type of renewable diesel produced by hydrotreating waste vegetable oils and animal fats, making it a drop-in replacement for conventional fossil diesel.
  • A number of data center operators around the world have either deployed HVO fuel or are currently testing it. Some of these operators include Compass Datacenters, Vantage Data Centers, Digital Realty, STACK Infrastructure, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, Scala Data Centers, DataVita, Verne, AWS, and several others.
  • In June 2024, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres announced its plan to deploy HVO to its data centers in Singapore as a replacement for traditional diesel fuels. This marks the company as the first operator in the country to deploy HVO for use in backup generators. A similar trend has been witnessed across several other countries and regions.
Adoption of Intelligent and Automated Power Systems
  • The generator market is now moving toward software-defined support infrastructure in the data center. Under power infrastructure, software-defined monitoring is crucial for the long-term effectiveness of UPS systems and generators, along with assisting in the correct installation, regular maintenance, and physical security of power systems. DCIM software is designed to measure, monitor, and manage both IT equipment and other infrastructure in data centers.
  • Key players in the Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software market include Cisco Systems, Siemens, ABB, Rittal, STULZ, Schneider Electric, Delta Power Solution, and Vertiv. DCIM power solutions comprise InfraSuite Manager from Delta Power Solutions, EcoStruxure DCIM software by Schneider Electric, Nlyte Software's DCIM offerings, and others.
  • The growing power consumption and carbon emissions from data centers have led operators to increasingly adopt AI and machine learning (ML) technologies for more efficient management. In Latin America, Brazil stands out as an advanced market with approximately 63% of Brazilian companies using data and analytics solutions powered by AI.
Green Initiatives for Low-Emission Data Center Operations
  • Many countries across the globe use solar, hydropower, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy sources to generate renewable energy. Most of the countries around the world are aiming to be carbon-neutral by 2050
  • Data centers are among the largest consumers of power, accounting for 1-3% of the world’s total energy use. Data center operators like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions, using renewable energy purchase agreements (PPAs) to support their sustainability targets.
  • Data centers often partner with renewable energy providers to power their operations on a large scale. For instance, in November 2024, Equinix signed a 10-year PPA with the French renewable developer Neoen to procure 53 MW of solar power in Italy. The renewable energy will be used to power its data center facilities in Italy.
DATA CENTER GENERATOR MARKET SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS
  • The global data center generator market, particularly in terms of generator system capacity, is primarily seeing the use of generator capacities of 1.5 MW to 3 MW. Colocation providers rely heavily on high-capacity generators to ensure a continuous power supply. Additionally, generators with capacities of 3 MW and above are in high demand due to the growth of hyperscale data centers.
  • The increasing availability of advanced gas and bi-fuel generators reflects ongoing research and development by market leaders. When integrated with data centers, these generators offer efficient power solutions by operating alongside grid supplies. Equinix is equipped with a 4,000 kVA diesel generator in 2N configuration in SY9x in Sydney, Australia.
  • In 2024, diesel generators remained more prevalent in the Middle East and APAC data centers compared with those in America and Europe due to less stringent carbon emission regulations and greater availability of diesel backups, surpassing alternatives like natural gas and bio-fuel generators.
  • Khazna Data Centers, a leading data center operator in the Middle East, has announced its plan to completely switch to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) across its entire portfolio of data centers. All new generators are designed to be HVO-capable, and the company aims to source HVO regionally to reduce Scope 1 emissions.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
