Data centers are reshaping onsite energy infrastructure to meet demands for reliability, sustainability, and scalability. Traditional utility dependence strains regions with high growth, and distributed gas-fueled generation, microgrids, and demand response integration are rapidly becoming essential to achieving true resiliency at scale.
This paper lays out best practices for interconnection, permitting, and contractual models that support both the grid and large loads. Enchanted Rock is featured as an example of a company deploying ultra-clean, natural gas microgrid systems that can serve data centers while reducing emissions, maintaining operational flexibility, and offering resiliency services. The paper emphasizes that flexibility and modular generation are not theoretical extras; they’re becoming non-negotiable infrastructure for data centers in power-constrained regions. Our ERT500 CARB Ultra-Clean propane-fueled generator is featured in the paper, illustrating how we are expanding fuel options for data centers seeking compliance with regulatory and environmental constraints.
The paper positions forward-looking operators and service providers like Enchanted Rock as integral to bridging the gap between utility limitations and the demands of digital infrastructure growth.
