Power. It’s the topic of every Data Centre conversation and the reason is this: Rack densities are climbing, workloads are changing, and the question of why do Data Centres need so much power now affects everything from infrastructure design to investment decisions.
This is where we bring together RED's latest thinking on energy and power engineering for critical infrastructure - how power is generated, distributed, measured and optimised across increasingly demanding facilities.
Hear from Phil Reid, Head of Energy Transition
RED’s expert takes on energy and power engineering brings together technical insight, informed opinion and forward-looking analysis from the engineers designing the infrastructure behind the world’s most demanding facilities. It’s all here in The Centr…

You'll find perspectives on Data Centre power consumption, exploring how workloads, rack densities and facility design influence demand, along with the average Data Centre power usage across different facility types and workloads. We also look at the wider picture, from Data Centre energy consumption statistics, to changing demand patterns and what they mean for the next generation of builds.
It's not just about Data Centres, either. The same principles behind Data Centre power consumption - measuring demand, designing out waste, matching supply to need - apply across the built environment, which is why you'll also find insight on how to reduce energy consumption in buildings across different sectors.
As Data Centre power consumption changes, understanding how that power is delivered, managed and used becomes increasingly important. For modern Data Centres, those decisions influence everything from resilience and performance through to cost and sustainability.
