New grid codes will require data center operators to change how their facilities respond to electricity grid faults. This report discusses the key risks and considerations for facility operators.

Data center noise is becoming a major source of complaints from nearby residents — particularly low-frequency "infrasound." New research explores the engineering challenges behind the issue and offers ways to mitigate them.

Superconductivity is still considered an exotic technology, but extreme-density IT will make data center operators take note of this option.

Despite their success in measuring emissions, carbon accounting frameworks are showing their limits — as the GHG Protocol and SBTi update guidance, operators have an opportunity to develop methods that better align actions with decarbonization.

Texas' Governor has called for an audit of all applications for data center grid connections, also halting environmental permits. This review will impact operators financially, as projects will be delayed until the audit process is complete

Thailand is the latest country seeking greater oversight of data center projects, with the government pausing construction and approvals while it establishes a unified regulatory framework to manage the sector's rapid growth.

The latest data from the EU's EED reveals ongoing issues in both the quality of the data and the lack of coverage, limiting its use as an accurate benchmark of the sector's efficiency performance.

Arc flash risks in data centers using 800V DC strongly depend on architecture — a research paper warns operators that they will need to update arc flash safety procedures to handle DC systems.

How do you cut a grid connection queue that is simply too long? The UK's regulator Ofgem has proposed a large fee to deter and remove non-viable projects from the queue, but the plan may have unintended consequences.

AI data center projects often run into delays when developers encounter unfamiliar technologies and unexpected technical challenges. Taking a structured, methodical approach can help keep projects on track.

New York's data center moratorium is more than a pause on new projects, it is an attempt to make developers partners in rebuilding the grid — and could provide a model for other governments.

Drones can be used to surveil or potentially attack data centers, but operators have limited options to respond. Aviation and airspace regulations restrict intervention, even when drones are flying over a facility.

The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey, now in its 16th year, highlights the practices, perceptions, intentions and experiences of data center owners and operators across resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and AI.

Data center waste heat does not significantly raise local temperatures, but concerns over the heat island effect demand a robust response that addresses monitoring and mitigation measures.

The Irish answer to the grid integration question is stark: all on-site power must be exported to the grid and repurchased at market prices.
