Renewable Energy Certificates for Data Centers Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global market size for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for Data Centers reached USD 2.18 billion in 2024, with a robust year-on-year growth driven by the escalating demand for sustainable energy solutions in the data center industry. The market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 20.7% from 2025 to 2033, ultimately reaching a forecasted value of USD 14.13 billion by 2033. This remarkable growth trajectory is primarily fueled by the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, stringent regulatory mandates for carbon neutrality, and the surging data consumption worldwide, which compels data centers to invest in renewable energy procurement and reporting mechanisms.

The exponential growth in global data traffic, largely attributed to the proliferation of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and IoT devices, has significantly increased the energy consumption of data centers. Consequently, organizations are under immense pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and demonstrate environmental responsibility. Renewable Energy Certificates for Data Centers have emerged as a key instrument in facilitating the transition towards green energy, enabling operators to purchase and account for renewable electricity even when direct sourcing is not feasible. The rising investor and stakeholder focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria further amplifies the demand for RECs, as companies strive to align with sustainability goals and enhance their corporate image.

Government policies and regulations across the globe have become increasingly supportive of renewable energy adoption. Many countries have established mandatory renewable portfolio standards and carbon reduction targets, compelling data centers to procure RECs to ensure compliance. Additionally, voluntary commitments by major technology firms to achieve 100% renewable energy usage have set industry benchmarks, prompting widespread adoption of RECs among hyperscale and enterprise data centers alike. The growing transparency in REC markets and advancements in digital tracking systems have also contributed to market growth by streamlining certificate issuance, verification, and trading processes.

The regional outlook for the Renewable Energy Certificates for Data Centers market reveals a dynamic landscape, with North America and Europe leading in terms of adoption and market share due to progressive regulatory frameworks and high concentration of hyperscale data centers. Asia Pacific, while currently trailing behind, is poised for the fastest growth, supported by rapid digitalization, expanding data center infrastructure, and increasing governmental focus on renewable initiatives. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are gradually gaining traction, driven by emerging data center investments and international sustainability collaborations. This regional diversification is expected to create new opportunities and foster innovation in REC procurement and utilization models.

Certificate Type Analysis

The market for Renewable Energy Certificates for Data Centers is segmented by certificate type into Voluntary and Compliance certificates. Voluntary RECs are purchased by organizations that aim to exceed regulatory requirements or enhance their sustainability profile, while compliance RECs are mandated by government policies to meet renewable energy targets. The voluntary segment currently dominates the market, accounting for a significant share, as leading technology companies and colocation providers proactively commit to environmental stewardship. These organizations leverage voluntary RECs to demonstrate leadership in sustainability, attract environmentally conscious clients, and differentiate themselves in a competitive landscape.

Compliance RECs, on the other hand, are witnessing accelerated growth due to the tightening of renewable portfolio standards and

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Display Energy Certificates data for buildings in Calderdale. The Office for National Statistics uses EPC data as evidence in the article "Energy efficiency of housing in England and Wales 2024".

This dataset contains information from Energy Performance Certificates and Display Energy Certificates for buildings in England and Wales The requirement for energy certificates for buildings flows from the EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings. The principle underlying the requirements of the EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings is to make the energy efficiency of buildings transparent through the provision of energy certificates and to show how the energy efficiency of the building can be improved.

This datafile contains geo-referenced (WGS-84) entries for year-2013 display energy certificates (DECs) for all buildings on the Bangor University campus in North Wales. Data is courtesy of the Bangor University Estates and Facilities Department.

This database includes total energy consumption (i.e. gas, electricity, heat) in kWh and total carbon footprint in kgCO2e (calculated using Defra’s 2014 carbon emission factors) for each site that is in the scope of the Council’s annual Greenhouse Gas report. Display Energy Certificate (DEC) score and rating, and total useful floor area have been included where the data is available (this will be updated). Most of the data is actual, however, some is based on estimated billing. Please note that the amount of energy consumed per site depends on various factors, e.g. size of the building, type and age of the building, use/services based in the building, occupancy patterns/changes, occupants behaviour, whether conditions, etc.

Number of Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) lodged on the Register, in each Local Authority, by Energy Efficiency Rating (fuel cost) or Environmental Impact Rating (Carbon Dioxide emissions), in each Year/Quarter. Floor area data is broken down by property type. Type of property is broken down into Bungalow, House, Flat, or Maisonette. These tables show data from certificates lodged on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) Registers since 2008, including average energy efficiency ratings, energy use, carbon dioxide emissions, fuel costs, average floor area sizes and numbers of certificates recorded. Data lodged on the EPB Registers record information about the certificates issued for buildings which have been newly constructed, sold or let since 2008. Data lodged on the EPB Registers will also include buildings for which multiple EPCs have been issued. On 1 April 2012, the first set of Scheme Operating Requirements came into effect for Domestic Energy Assessors, which set new rules for the operation of Accreditation Schemes. One new requirement was to introduce quality assurance audit of EPCs. The result was a demonstrable improvement in the quality of data lodged on the EPB Registers from mid-2012 onwards. Users are asked to consider this when interpreting figures prior to that period. In May 2009, additional validation checks were introduced into the register lodgement process to identify prescribed data quality issues. Before this period, statistics for domestic buildings may include anomalies to CO2 emission rates. In addition, statistics for domestic and non-domestic buildings and for DECs may include anomalies which affect total floor area figures.

The virtual survey dataset is an experimental snapshot of basic building parameters consisting of:- * Age Band * Property Type * Built Form * System /Construction Type * Main Wall Construction The data has been derived, using existing data on Council Housing and using GIS in combination with internet maps/street view, Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data, building control notifications scheme installation data, and estate scale planning applications. No warranty is made as to the accuracy of the data, which is often subjective. Age Band for example is probably accurate to within one band. For example a property listed as “1900-1929” may actually be “Pre-1900”. Further information ------------------- * System - indicates the type of construction. Some houses are called 'system build' which refers to a variety of methods of construction houses, and the “System” is the name given by the manufacturer of builder. The majority came in after the second world war, when there was shortage of houses & a need to provide dwellings quickly and at low cost. Some types were only intended to be temporary – with a lifespan of 20-30 years. Their construction varies, but generally they fall into ones which are built around a steel or concrete frame / timber frame; or “Prefabricated Reinforced Concrete” (PRC). * Trad_NonTrad - O indicates other eg caravans Please note ----------- The data will not be 100% accurate and will be updated on an ad hoc basis.
