Behind-the-meter power solutions for data centers in India

emerging/adoption phase

Behind-the-meter (BTM) power is emerging as a vital solution for data centers in India, allowing operators to generate electricity onsite and bypass grid delays. This approach enables data centers to operate independently of national and public grids, ensuring consistent power supply and mitigating project delays. Natural gas is the primary BTM solution, with fuel cells also gaining traction as a lower-emission option. Analysts expect 25% to 33% of new data center generation to operate entirely on BTM solutions, reshaping power strategies in regions with grid constraints.
