Climate Change Agreement for Data Centres EUETS for Data Centre participantsClimate Change Agreement • February 20th, 2017
Data Centres use standby generators to provide emergency power in the event of mains grid failure. Generators tend to be test fired on average once a month (for around an hour). Consequently fuel use is low: on-site generated electricity averages 0.14% of total energy use in data centres. However, generator fuel consumption has to be reported by CCA participants and some sites also have to report under EU ETS if the generating capacity is large enough (see our separate guidance).
