GE has joined The Green Grid, a global consortium of more than 80 high–tech equipment companies, including AMD, APC, Dell, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Rackable Systems, SprayCool, Sun Microsystems and Vmware. GE will work closely with other members of The Green Grid to develop meaningful operating standards, metrics and technologies to improve the energy efficiency and performance of data centers and computing ecosystems.

Environmental initiatives are in the fabric of GE, mission critical teams within GE globally are fully aware of today's challenges in the data center industry.  GE's membership in The Green Grid demonstrates the commitment to developing more energy-efficient data centers. GE's membership acknowledgement co-insides with the launch of the new UL Listed 750Kva GE Digital Energy UPS, which is scalable to 6 MVA for major data centre requirements.

GE currently offers a wide range of practical solutions designed to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the overall operational costs of data centers. In 2005, GE launched "ecomagination", a GE initiative to aggressively bring to market new technologies that help customers and consumers meet pressing environmental challenges.
