Last year the number of investments in data center<\/a><\/strong> globally had a strong growth, with a number of transactions that reached 117 units in 2021, scoring an annual increase of 64%<\/strong>, and doubling the value of investments up to USD 59,9 billion<\/strong>. These are the results of a report by the DLA Piper<\/strong><\/a> International law firm, titled \u2018The meteoric rise of the data centre: key drivers behind the global demand<\/a>\u2019. This extraordinary growth is expected to continue, as in the first half of 2022<\/strong> there have been already 41 transactions worth USD 21,3 billion<\/strong>, which doubles the USD 10,6 billion total of the same period in 2021.<\/p>\n

Even more interesting on the perspective of Tempco<\/strong> is the growing focus that investors, debt providers and developers have on energy security and ESG issues related to data center<\/strong> infrastructures. The global growth of data centers is clearly driven by the increasing demand for cloud services<\/strong>, and by the rise of IoT and artificial intelligence<\/strong> applications, with also the incoming rollout of 5G connectivity<\/strong> and the dawn of Metaverse<\/strong>. At the same time, the regulatory scrutiny and intervention in ESG have been increasing, with initiatives such as the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact<\/strong><\/a> and metrics like PUE<\/strong><\/a> (Power usage effectiveness) more and more weighing on requirements for data centers around the world.<\/p>\n

\"Crescita<\/a><\/p>\n

In this context, almost all respondents (94%) said that scrutiny and diligence surrounding ESG issues increased<\/strong> when making data center investment and\/or development decisions in the past 24 months, and 99% of them anticipate a further increase in the next 24 months. More than a third (35%) of developers\/operators said that they divested at least one data center<\/strong> in the past two years due to concerns related to ESG<\/strong>. The survey also shows that net zero carbon emissions<\/strong> are firmly on the agenda for a majority of respondents, as 68% of equity investors and 60% each of both debt providers and developers\/operators said that the data center in which they had most recently invested either has a target to achieve net zero emissions by 2030<\/strong> or it had already achieved this. Finally, energy and ESG factors are top drivers when it comes to generating a premium for data center investments: 70% of developers\/operators and 75% of both debt providers and equity investors said they would be glad to pay a premium to invest in or finance a site with very good to excellent ESG and sustainability credentials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As in topics we have already treated in the past, sustainability and energy saving in data center<\/strong> notably refers to the switch from air cooling systems of IT equipments and electronics to liquid cooling solutions<\/strong><\/a>, taking all of the advantages provided by immersion cooling in data centers<\/a>. This represents in fact a shift gears for data centers, towards a more sustainable and green future for IT computing infrastructurea with a lower environmental impact. There are indeed several advantages offered by liquid cooling of data centers equipment<\/strong>, starting with the possibility to employ cooling fluids at higher temperatures<\/strong> thanks to the higher heat dissipation rate of liquid compared to air. Great energy savings<\/strong> are then also due to the elimination of fans and compressors in chillers, and furthermore allowing the implementation of free cooling<\/strong><\/a> systems.<\/p>\n
