Clean Energy Capital rebrands to Xela Energy

Clean Energy Capital (CEC) has rebranded as Xela Energy – marking an evolution from a start-up renewables developer to a fully-funded, institutional energy business delivering long-term infrastructure at scale. The company says its rebrand reflects its "maturity as a company," from a start-up, seed-stage renewable energy developer to an established enterprise energy business that builds, owns, and operates private wire infrastructure for global businesses, including data centres, industrial manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and blue-chip technology organisations. The company now provides its customers with access to renewable power, alongside the pre-requisite experience in building and owning renewable energy assets, including construction management, asset management, operations, H&S, regulatory and commercial compliance, contract management, billing, and customer service. Alexander Goodall, Founder & CEO at Xela Energy, comments, “Our rebrand to Xela Energy reflects the business we’ve become — and one we continue to build upon. It’s not just about a new name, it’s about delivering real infrastructure to solve our customers’ challenges proactively, not reactively. From a four-person start-up to a team of more than 25 dedicated industry experts, it’s our people who make that possible. Their belief, drive, and commitment have shaped Xela from the very start, and they continue to push us forwards every day. Xela Energy has grown from origins in development to delivering large-scale renewable energy solutions for some of the UK’s largest power users. “With capital secured and land in strategic locations, Xela Energy brings shovel-ready, strategically located projects to the table [...] and is positioned to power a more sustainable, industrial economy. As we enter this new phase, we’re creating an organisation that is forward-looking, technology-agnostic, and ready to scale. At the heart of this rebrand is a simple belief: if our energy is unsustainable, so is our existence.” The company claims that, due to a turbulent macroeconomic environment, UK commercial and industrial energy users can no longer rely on the grid to consistently deliver affordable or green energy, with Britain paying some of the highest prices of any country in the world for electricity, forcing businesses to seek off-grid solutions. Xela Energy says it responds to this demand by delivering renewable infrastructure located where power is needed, making renewable power an "undeniable part" of the answer to these industry-wide challenges. The company seeks to offer large-scale energy users access to clean, reliable, and cost-effective power, allowing them to reduce emissions, lower costs, and eliminate up-front capex. It continues by suggesting that central to this approach are Xela Energy’s Renewable Energy Service Agreements (RESAs): a private wire equivalent to a traditional power purchase agreement (PPA). RESAs, the company claims, enable Xela Energy customers to fix pricing, shielding them from future energy price spikes at scale and delivering industrial-scale green power directly to a site via private wire. These renewable energy projects are funded and built off-balance-sheet with the intention to help preserve customer capital for core growth activities directly into the customers infrastructure.

'EU’s shift on climate targets echoes industry reality'

According to a report from Aggreko, a British multinational temporary power generation and temperature control company, the European Union’s move to consider more flexible climate targets reflects a broader shift already underway, as highlighted in earlier research showing businesses adjusting net zero plans in response to rising energy costs. According to EU diplomats, the European Commission is set to propose a new bloc-wide climate target to cut net greenhouse gas emissions by 90% from 1990 levels, while allowing flexibility for domestic industries and use of international carbon credits. This shift mirrors recent findings from Aggreko’s surveying of CEOs across Europe, which revealed that high energy costs are prompting many businesses to reassess their decarbonisation timelines to ensure a commercially viable transition. The company’s recent report, Rebalancing the Energy Transition, based on a survey of 400 CEOs across the UK, Germany, France, and Italy, found that 95% of large businesses have already adjusted their net zero strategies in response to energy supply and pricing pressures. These findings suggest the EU’s proposed shift reflects what is already happening on the ground in energy-intensive sectors subject to rising costs and grid issues. “The EU’s shift towards more flexible climate targets recognises the need for practical pathways to net zero that we’re seeing across industry,” says Robert Wells, Aggreko’s Europe President. “Our research shows that while the intention to invest in the energy transition remains strong, companies are evolving their strategies to ensure operational resilience while also driving environmental progress.” According to Aggreko’s research, while 12% of CEOs currently rank the speed of decarbonisation as their top priority, the vast majority remain committed to climate action. Approximately 80% plan to increase investment in energy transition initiatives over the next year, demonstrating that businesses are still committed to sustainable practices, even as they navigate cost and competitiveness challenges. With this in mind, Aggreko is urging businesses to look beyond timelines and focus on practical, scalable solutions that can reduce emissions while improving energy resilience. Central to this is the role of decentralised energy systems and supply chain collaboration, which Rebalancing the Energy Transition identifies as key to reducing energy costs and accelerating progress toward net zero. “In a volatile energy market, decentralised and flexible power solutions have moved from optional to essential,” Robert adds. “By working with supply chain partners to deploy renewable technologies and alternative power agreements, businesses can reduce emissions and costs simultaneously.” Aggreko’s sustainability framework, Energising Change, aims to support this approach by helping sectors such as manufacturing, construction, data centres, utilities, and petrochemicals to implement decentralised energy solutions that are both commercially and environmentally sustainable. Robert concludes, “The EU’s evolving stance is a recognition of the complex and multifaceted priorities businesses face. Our report provides a roadmap for navigating these challenges, showing that with the right strategies, it is possible to stay competitive and committed to climate goals. I would encourage all stakeholders involved in energy equipment procurement to seek it out and read it.” For more from Aggreko, click here.

2025 ESG Report: Data centre environmental impact

Structure Research has released its latest 2025 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, providing an in-depth look at the environmental footprint of data centre providers and hyperscale platforms. The report captures sustainability metrics from 26 data centre operators and nine hyperscale cloud platforms, offering a unique snapshot into carbon emissions, energy consumption and water usage across the global infrastructure ecosystem. The 2025 ESG Report finds that while data centre energy usage continues to rise - now accounting for more than 1.1% of global energy consumption - average carbon emissions per unit of energy consumed are trending downwards, driven by the growing adoption of renewable and carbon-free energy sources. Total energy usage increased from 178.5TWh in 2019 to 310.6TWh in 2024, while emissions intensity fell from 366.9mtCO2e/GWh to 312.7mtCO2e/GWh over the same period. “Data centres are foundational to the modern digital economy, and that means they carry a growing environmental responsibility,” says Philbert Shih, Managing Director of Structure Research. “What this report shows is that while energy consumption continues to climb, providers are making meaningful progress in efficiency and renewable adoption. The industry is clearly moving in the right direction - but transparency and accountability will be critical as sustainability expectations evolve.” Key findings from the report Sustainability progress amid rising demand · Energy usage by ESG Leaders grew 17.9% over the last five years, while renewable energy consumption increased by 27.9%. · Hyperscalers now use renewable sources for approximately 91% of their total energy needs; data centre providers reached 62%. · Carbon-free energy, including nuclear, is emerging as a key part of the data centre energy mix as power constraints grow in Tier 1 markets. PUE and water efficiency improvements · Average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) for data centre providers declined from 1.44 in 2019 to 1.38 in 2024, while hyperscale PUEs remained at an industry-leading 1.22. · Data centre water consumption increased by 9.6% over five years, driven by demand for liquid cooling to support AI workloads and higher rack densities. The report introduces the Structure Research Sustainability Quadrant (SRSQ), a benchmark framework ranking providers based on transparency, operational efficiency and renewable energy usage. The SRSQ aims to encourage better reporting standards and highlight leaders in environmental performance. Structure Research’s analysis found that ESG reporting across the sector is becoming more common, though significant variation remains in the scope and depth of disclosures. The report emphasises the importance of transparency in environmental reporting and urges providers to include more granular, region-specific data in future disclosures. The 2025 ESG Report is a tool for hyperscalers, colocation providers, enterprises and policymakers seeking to understand the environmental implications of data centre growth and how industry leaders are responding.

Feature - Why is Green IT so important?

By Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Infinidat. Green IT is an essential component of an enterprise IT strategy, because it prioritises practices and technologies that target reducing the environmental impact of IT operations, whilst also saving on operational expenses. This includes minimising energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and promoting sustainable disposal of technology products. Interest among enterprises in Green IT has grown significantly in recent years, driven by environmental concerns, cost savings and regulatory pressures. This transition to Green IT is crucial because the environmental impact of data centres and IT infrastructure is huge and growing rapidly, especially given the interest in AI applications. At present, data centres worldwide consume 1-2% of overall power, but this percentage is projected to rise to 3-4% by the end of the decade, according to Goldman Sachs. It emphasises the very urgent need for sustainable IT practices. It’s especially important in tech-heavy industries like banking, finance and telecommunications. Recent research conducted by IDC in 2024 indicates that increased power consumption by data centres was largely driven by the surge in AI workloads and edge computing. During the period 2025 to 2028, electricity consumption is expected to more than double, with a CAGR of 19.5%, reaching 857 Terawatt hours (TWh) in 2028. In the AI data centre sector this rate is even higher, with energy consumption rates forecast to grow at a CAGR of 44.7%, reaching 146.2 TWh by 2027. The reason for this disparity this is very clear. On average, a ChatGPT query needs nearly 10 times as much electricity to process as a Google search, according to research published by Goldman Sachs. Plus, AI models often require constant training and fine-tuning, leading to prolonged periods of high energy consumption. By adopting Green IT practices, enterprises can not only contribute to a more sustainable future but will also reduce their operational costs (OpEx). This article will illustrate how, by adopting enterprise storage solutions optimised for environmental efficiency, enterprises will get a head start on best practice. So, what should green conscious buyers be looking for when they invest in enterprise storage? Storage arrays designed with sustainability in mind One of the best ways that an enterprise can cut energy consumption within its storage infrastructure is to consolidate the number of arrays being used. If you are wondering how to identify what ‘too many arrays’ looks like, an enterprise usually finds itself ready for storage consolidation when it’s experiencing storage array sprawl. This is an overloaded storage infrastructure caused by years of bringing in a different array for one or two workloads at a time, in a piecemeal fashion. By consolidating, enterprises can benefit in three key ways: • Access to the latest power-efficient hardware and software designed to minimise energy consumption.• An opportunity to make ongoing energy savings through telemetry-based optimisation. This provides real-time power and cooling consumption data, for continuous power usage monitoring and optimisation.• All-round reduced footprint, because consolidating multiple storage arrays into a single, more efficient platform cuts down on the floor space requirements too. For instance, a financial services company could replace over 288 floor tiles of legacy arrays with 61 floor tiles of advanced arrays optimised for energy efficiency, resulting in a reduction of over four times in data centre floor space and 62% reduction in total power consumption. Vendor commitment to operational decarbonisation Perhaps the simplest way that enterprise buyers can assure themselves they are making inroads with Green IT programmes is to opt for vendors that are taking this priority seriously inside their own organisations. There are three key ways vendors can be signalling to procurement heads that their storage solutions meet these requirements. Firstly, through integrated ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) reporting. Vendors that are proactive in this space will be ‘walking the talk’, incorporating ESG principles into every aspect of their operations, from supply chain management to technology development. Secondly, through a documented commitment to reducing Scope 3 Emissions. These are the indirect emissions within an enterprise’s total carbon footprint that exist in the upstream and downstream value chain. Controlling Scope 3 emissions is particularly important, because they typically make up the largest portion of a company's carbon footprint, often accounting for more than 70% of total emissions. As a company, Infinidat is proud to have achieved a 41% reduction in total carbon footprint across our own value chain, encompassing Scope 3 emissions. Lastly, through continuous investment in the development of power-efficient products. Infinidat continuously upgrades its product lines to deliver ongoing higher performance with the lowest possible energy consumption. Compare competitors for storage energy efficiency You might expect that all enterprise storage vendors would have similar environmental credentials, but the reality is very different. Some solutions are significantly more energy-efficient than others. Independent analysis shows that the ‘greenest’ arrays deliver 2.5 to 4.5 times better power efficiency (watts/TB) compared to other enterprise-class storage competitors. Consider this comparison above of publicly available power and capacity information detailing the consumption rates of two leading enterprise storage vendors to illustrate the point. And take this analysis a step further to consider your own environment using the energy efficiency calculator. Estimate the savings to be made both in terms of OpEx and carbon footprint by clicking here. What next? There are three very tangible benefits to be seen from using energy efficient storage solutions for Green IT. • Lower OpEx – because reduced power consumption translates directly into lower operational expenses.• Reduced Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions – because by minimising energy use you can achieve a lower carbon footprint, supporting Green IT and environmental sustainability goals.• Improved ROI/TCO – because the combination of lower OpEx and increased efficiency results in a better return on investment and lower total cost of ownership. Clearly, Green IT must become an essential component of every enterprise IT strategy. We cannot continue unchecked, on the current trajectory of power consumption. As the explosion of generative AI continues, enterprises will need to regain control of their energy usage and find ways to embrace this new technology without it causing negative consequences. Identify the right strategic technology partner, one with the right mix of products and an emphasis on cutting carbon emissions, and you can achieve this. - Eric Herzog is a guest speaker at DTX 2025 and will be discussing 'The New Frontier of Enterprise Storage: Cyber Resilience & AI' on the Advanced Cyber Strategies Stage. Join him for unique insights on 3 April 2025 from 11.15-11.40am. Infinidat will be located at booth C81 at DTX 2025, taking place on 2-3 April at Manchester Central.
