Data centers and your power bill
Even when data centers can produce all or some of their own energy, they usually still need to be connected to the grid. The cost of those utility investments can add up quickly, according to Christopher Knittel, MIT associate dean for climate and sustainability, who states that this will matter more and more with data center expansion.

At a policy workshop in Bangkok, Thailand, Christopher Knittel, MIT associate dean for climate and sustainability, emphasized that analytical tools must be paired with engagement by decision makers. “Effective climate action depends not only on strong analysis, but on sustained dialogue with policy makers and industry leaders,” said Knittel. “Partnerships like this help bridge research and real-world implementation.”
