Creating Low Carbon Data Centres

The average energy costs of running a corporate data centre are currently at approximately USD 8.7m (GBP 5.3m) a year and this figure is estimated to double to USD 18m (GBP 11m) within the next five years.

MITIE Energy is supporting The Low Carbon Data Centre Network on 2degrees with the aim of identifying and working with skilled partners to create simple innovative solutions that can maintain data centre bottom line revenue whilst simultaneously reducing environmental impact.

Other members of this network will include IT companies, renewable energy technologists, IT integrators, HVAC technology manufacturers and installers, quantity surveyors, financial investors, environmental consultants and academics.

If you would like to join this network and support MITIE Energy in its mission to make data centres, and their facilities, smarter, greener, safer and better run, we would welcome your company.
