Green credentials
Our data centres are the best kind of green – they’re sustainable! We’re focused on reducing our impact on the environment wherever possible, so our data centres have been crammed full of features that do just that. And we’re always on the lookout for more things to add...
Powered by 100% renewable energy
Our data centres use 100% renewable electricity, as well as sustainable HVO biofuel (not diesel) for their generators. We also have an ISO50001 certificate for energy management, so the energy we do use is used in the best way possible.
Real energy efficiencies
A huge amount of care and attention went into making our data centres as energy efficient as possible, delivering a best-in-class power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.3 or less – now that’s impressive.
Solar panels
Solar photovoltaic panels cover the entire roof of our Worcester data centre to provide an additional source of renewable energy (524 kWp). Plus our London data centre runs on wind, hydro and solar energy.
Carbon-neutral architecture
Our Worcester data centre has been designed to make use of Tata Steel's Confidex Sustain wall and roof cladding to create a carbon-neutral envelope. In London, we use an approach that includes renewable power, innovative cooling systems, and heat capture.
Electric car charging points
To help employees and visitors make use of more sustainable transport, our Worcester data centre car park features charging points for electric vehicles.
It’s all in the detail
From green roofs and wood cladding on auxiliary buildings to sustainable landscaping and bug hotels, our data centres feature a wide range of built-in environmentally friendly features.
