451 Research - Beijing’s local government released a sweeping energy draft plan on April 26 to mandate that datacenters completed in 2021 and on must include renewable energy in their power sources and incrementally increase the share of renewables by 10% each year to 100% by 2030. Under the proposal, existing datacenters that do not meet the efficiency standard will have higher power tariffs. Facilities with a power utilization rate of less than 80% against its capacity two years after operation will have to file for new energy consumption quotas. The regulations are in line with an earlier proposal released in January to phase out older facilities in Beijing that have PUE levels exceeding 2.0.
