From a macro point of view, for any data center migration, the first thing to consider is its location. The United States is a vast country with a difference of 3000 miles from the east coast to the west coast, with different climate and weather patterns within its territory. Because of this, not all regions can obtain resources of all kinds of renewable energy. The following are some of the most widely used renewable sources of energy:

Hydroelectric power - this is a highly reliable source of energy, usually supplied by large bodies of water, and power turbines generate energy from the flow of water. This energy does not produce carbon emissions, and the pollution is minimal. Therefore, hydroelectric power is one of the most energy saving renewable energy. Because a large amount of water is needed to generate electricity, the use of this power source in the data center is not a very viable option.
Solar power - this energy comes from the sun. However, if the sun's light conditions are not consistent, it can not be used as an independent source of energy. The solar power generation system usually lives in 1530, but requires a lot of installation space and a large number of polysilicon.
Wind power generation - does not produce carbon emissions, but its energy output is based on wind, has a certain regional limit, and takes up a large amount of land.
Geothermal energy - the source of energy converting the heat from the earth into electrical energy. It is an effective means of generating electricity and has little impact on the environment. But the quantity of geothermal is not much, it is not a good choice for the data center.
If operators reduce the choice of specific renewable energy sources for data centers, the next step is to determine the location of data centers based on the location of energy sources. Energy is not the only decisive factor. It is also crucial for operators to understand the power costs of the required areas. The cost of electricity varies widely across the United States, and the most populous areas usually have the highest electricity prices, and the electricity in less populated areas is often cheaper.
