DCH Group invests heavily in “green” data center solutions to meet the inevitable market trend. DCH is expected to build 01 Super Data Center – Digital Hub with 05 Data Hall buildings providing services to thousands of domestic and foreign enterprises.
DCH Group not only provides optimal data storage and security solutions but also helps businesses reduce operating costs through energy-saving technologies.
Specifically, DCH data centers are built and use solar energy with the Solarfarm project providing up to 70% of the electricity consumed for the project, helping to reduce carbon emissions and ensure sustainable operations. The Group optimizes space and resources, contributing to optimizing operating costs and saving energy during service business operations.
In the future, when customers use DCH Group's IDC services, businesses will not only access modern infrastructure but also enjoy many benefits, including reduced operating costs thanks to energy-saving technology, meeting ESG standards to enhance reputation and attract investment, high security with international standards, and 24/7 support services.
Green data centers have become a mandatory requirement in digital transformation and sustainable development. With a strategy of investing in and applying green technology, DCH Group will contribute to the sustainable development of the information technology industry.
Data centers are essential infrastructure for the digital economy, but they are also one of the largest energy consumers. According to a report by the International Electricity Agency (IEA), data centers, AI, and cryptocurrencies will consume about 460 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2022, equivalent to nearly 2% of total global electricity demand, a figure that is expected to increase to 1,000 TWh by 2026 due to the “explosion” of cloud computing, AI, and digital services.
In Vietnam, the power consumption of data centers is estimated to reach 169.8 MW (megawatts) in 2024 and is expected to reach 242.4 MW in 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.38% (According to Research And Markets). To put this into perspective, 1 MW can provide electricity for about 800 - 1,000 homes a year under normal usage conditions. This shows that the data center market in Vietnam will grow strongly to meet the increasing demand for data storage and processing. However, with the development of the digital economy, the demand for green, energy-saving data centers that meet international standards is increasingly becoming a top priority.
Developed countries have strong policies to promote green data centers. The EU requires owners of these centers with power consumption of 500kW or more to report their annual usage efficiency. Meanwhile, Germany applies a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) standard of less than or equal to 1.5 for old data centers operating before July 1, 2026 and less than or equal to 1.2 for centers operating after July 1, 2026. Singapore only grants construction permits for centers with PUE of less than 1.3. Big companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon are also stepping up investment in data centers using 100% renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions.
