PG&E turns the power off

In our October 2018 report, A mission-critical industry unprepared for climate change, Uptime Institute Intelligence urged data center operators and owners to plan for the effects of climate change. We specifically encouraged data center owners and operators to meet with government officials and utility executives to learn about local and regional disaster preparation and response plans.

A recent public filing by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), California’s largest electric utility, underlines our point and gives data center owners and operators in that state, including areas near Silicon Valley, a lot to discuss.
