Abstract
Energy generation and consumption are the main aspects of social life due to the fact that modern people’s necessity for energy is a crucial ingredient for existence. Therefore, energy efficiency is regarded as the best economical approach to provide safer and affordable energy for both utilities and consumers, through the enhancement of energy security and reduction of energy emissions. One of the problems of cloud computing service providers is the high rise in the cost of energy, efficiency together with carbon emission with regards to the running of their internet data centres (IDCs). In order to mitigate these issues, smart micro-grid was found to be suitable in increasing the energy efficiency, sustainability together with the reliability of electrical services for the IDCs. Therefore, this paper presents idea on how smart micro-grids can bring down the disturbing cost of energy, carbon emission by the IDCs with some level of energy efficiency all in an effort to attain green cloud computing services from the service providers. In specific term, we aim at achieving green information and communication technology (ICT) in the field of cloud computing in relations to energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness and carbon emission reduction from cloud data center’s perspective.

Summary
Many organisations such as business, government and academic institutions utilised cloud services nowadays from software, a platform to infrastructure to have proper and flexible management of multiple IT resources [1]. Due to extensive internet coverage across the globe, it became imperative to directly focus on green technologies to achieve minimum energy consumption concerning IT resources towards environmental protection. This paper focuses on how to mitigate issues of high energy consumption, cost and environmental pollution related to activities of IDCs to achieve green cloud computing service. The paper carefully studied the existing practice based on the perspectives of energy and cost efficiency together with a carbon emission of the IDCs and projected a convincing solution to IDC issues highlighted
