1. A method comprising:
actively managing workload at a data center to realize energy savings, wherein the actively managing includes increasing spot pricing for a computing service provided by the data center to reduce the workload at the data center, wherein the computing service includes running at least a portion of the workload on processing resources of the data center; and providing excess power generated for the data center onto a utility grid when a current grid price is higher than estimated self-generated energy costs, wherein providing excess power comprises configuring a subset of a plurality of off-grid resources to produce excess biogas during off peak usage, wherein the subset of the plurality of off-grid resources comprise a subset of a plurality of digesters producing biogas for a micro-grid of the data center, and the subset of digesters have greater biogas storage capacity than other digesters on the micro-grid, and the subset of digesters have a faster rate of biogas production than the other digesters on the micro-grid. |
