Eaton introduces EnergyAware UPS in India

Eaton announces the launch of an industry-first data center solution – Energy Aware UPS using UPS-as-a-reserve (UPSaaR) in India. The solution will enable data centers to contribute to renewable energy and also earn from their UPS investments. As per the estimates, a data center could receive approx. $ 60,000 per MW / per year for its non-used capacity.

In India, the colocation/third-party data center market is growing at a CAGR between 7% and 8%, raising the utilization levels of servers and increasing power requirements. EnergyAware is designed for data center applications and can be used in any high-capacity IT load, whether industrial or manufacturing.

 According to Syed Sajjadh Ali, Managing Director – India, Electrical Sector, Eaton says, “Eaton’s EnergyAware technology allows large Data Center operators to give back energy to the grid. The primary role of the UPS doesn’t change, but by creating UPS as a Reserve (UPSaaR) through Energy Aware, organizations can enable Energy Transition. With UPSaaR organizations can offset both their Capex cost, while contributing towards reducing the carbon footprint and enabling renewable energy.”
