Contingency cooling for Birmingham hospital data centre

ICS Cool Energy, a specialist temperature control solutions company, has delivered a comfort and process temperature control solution for a major hospital in Birmingham. The hospital required an additional 80 kW of cooling capacity for comfort cooling in one of its patient wards, as well as a contingency cooling system for its data centre, which houses sensitive patient and operational data. Both systems were provided as long-term hires, with ICS Cool Energy’s i-Chillers serving as the backbone of these temperature control applications. The hospital approached ICS Cool Energy with two key cooling needs. Firstly, it required a reliable and cost-effective system to deliver air-conditioning for patients’ comfort. Secondly, and more critically, it needed an on-site contingency cooling solution for its data centre. Previously, the hospital relied on external providers. No on-site contingency system meant that in the event of a failure, it had to call in to deliver and install backup equipment. This reactive approach posed a significant risk, as every minute is critical when it comes to data centre cooling. Any delay in restoring cooling could lead to irreversible data loss. Following a comprehensive site assessment and analysis of the hospital’s requirements, ICS Cool Energy’s sales engineers proposed a solution to meet both needs: 1. A process-grade 80 kW i-Chiller to provide comfort cooling for the patient ward. This system was delivered under a rolling 12-month hire agreement, offering the hospital long-term flexibility without capital expenditure. The chiller ensures stable and reliable temperature control, creating a comfortable environment for both patients and staff. 2. To safeguard the hospital’s data centre, ICS Cool Energy installed a 160 kW i-Chiller alongside multiple internal air handling units. This backup system is always on standby and ready to take over should the primary cooling system fail. With this contingency solution in place, the hospital no longer has to rely on external emergency cooling support, significantly reducing the risk of data loss. Grant Spittle, Sales Engineer, ICS Cool Energy, comments, “Had the hospital maintained its previous arrangement of calling in external help during a failure, the data centre could have been severely compromised. Without backup equipment on-site, any failure in the regular cooling system could have resulted in the loss of vital patient and operational data. The new system minimises this risk and ensures continuity and data protection.” The hospital now benefits from two reliable air-conditioning and cooling systems on long-term hire. The i-Chillers provide consistent comfort cooling in the patient ward, contributing to overall patient well-being. Meanwhile, the contingency cooling system helps keeping the hospital’s data centre operating and critical data protected. The on-site backup is ready for immediate activation in the event of a failure, preventing potential data loss and avoiding severe financial and operational consequences. This project highlights ICS Cool Energy’s expertise in delivering efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solutions that give customers peace of mind and operational flexibility.

ODATA and Casa dos Ventos to drive sustainable growth

ODATA, an Aligned Data Centers company and provider of data centre services for Latin America, and Casa dos Ventos, one of the pioneers in the development of Brazilian wind projects and a key player in Brazil's energy transition, have announced a long-term contract for the supply of renewable energy through ODATA’s participation in the Babilônia Sul wind complex in Várzea Nova, Bahia. The partnership is part of ODATA's strategy for sustainable growth as it continues to rapidly expand its data centre infrastructure in Latin America. The company currently has five data centres in Brazil, four in Mexico, two in Chile, and one in Colombia in operation and under construction. With additional data centres and campuses under development, ODATA is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for hyperscale data centre solutions in the region. According to Ricardo Alário, CEO of ODATA, the country’s vast renewable energy potential can provide a reliable and sustainable supply for data centres, positioning Brazil as a competitive and attractive location for global tech companies. “We're the first to power our Brazilian data centres entirely with renewable energy from generation plants in which we hold a stake,” says Ricardo. “This partnership with Casa dos Ventos further solidifies our commitment to sustainability and the use of renewable energy across our operations.” “Brazil is very well positioned to meet the expansion of the data centre industry. We have an abundant supply of cost-competitive renewable energy globally, as well as a clean energy matrix, and the capability to quickly connect loads for new data centres - which other regions lack,” says Lucas Araripe, Executive Director of Casa dos Ventos. Reliable energy is essential for data centres, as it ensures the resilience of their infrastructure. Operating continuously, 24 hours a day, data centres require a consistent and renewable energy supply to meet both operational and sustainability goals. “Casa dos Ventos has tailored energy solutions and its portfolio of renewable assets and structured products to meet the needs and requirements of data centres,” explains Lucas. Ricardo adds, “As artificial intelligence continues to advance and its applications expand, the demand for energy to support these innovations is also on the rise. Having a large volume of clean energy generation positions Brazil as a major hub for the development of data centres specialised in supporting AI and its applications.” With 80 wind turbines and a total capacity of 360 MW, the Babilônia Sul wind complex received an investment of approximately 1.8 billion reais and provides energy to major industries. The complex is helping to avoid the emission of approximately 720,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, based on the average emissions of the global electricity sector (IRENA) - the equivalent to planting about four million trees. The supply of wind energy from the complex to ODATA’s Brazilian data centres is expected to begin after the completion of certain usual precedent conditions.

Schneider Electric announces circular economy UPS offer

Schneider Electric has announced the results of an industry-first, circular economy initiative for its range of APC Smart-UPS uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). First trialled in France in 2024 via a pioneering reduce, reuse and recycle programme, delivered in partnership with distributor Ingram Micro, Schneider Electric sought to increase the sustainability and circularity of its industrialised single-phase UPS solutions, while meeting customers’ demands for sustainable, responsible systems. The new solutions enable Schneider Electric’s French partners to address the competitive and fast-growing market for circular IT equipment - helping customers to reduce CO2 emissions associated with their critical systems, and with zero impact on the UPS’ operational performance, resiliency, or energy efficiency. With several high-profile French customers now utilising Schneider Electric’s circular UPS, including CGR Cinemas – one of Frances’ most notable leaders in the film industry – circular economy projects will also be extended to support partners and customers in key countries across Europe, including the UK and Ireland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany (DACH). Further, with take-back services delivered with Schneider Electric's partner ecosystem in France, coupled with replacement, recycling and rigorous testing processes via Schneider Electric’s local repair centre, the new solutions form part of a complete circular economy offer to serve the French channel and end-user markets. They allow customers to utilise circular, responsible power protection products with the same level of quality and warranty as Schneider Electric standard UPS, while being less CO² emissive. “When we first set out to establish our circular UPS offer, our ambition was to ensure that there was no compromise on the efficiency, resilience and the sustainability of our industrial processes, and to create sustainable solutions that deliver the same level of quality and reliability our customers expect,” says Geoffrey Richard, Schneider Electric’s Circular Economy Director, France. “Through these new UPS’, our partners can meet customer demands for sustainable solutions safe in the knowledge that they are making a significant contribution to environmental sustainability, and that their customers will benefit from the same warranty as standard Schneider Electric Smart-UPS models.” “As one of the largest distributors in Europe, Ingram Micro is on a mission to help our partners and their customers run better, grow faster, and become more mindful of the impacts their actions have on people and our planet,” adds Sandrine Vigor, Sustainability Manager at Ingram Micro, France. “We’re delighted to have partnered with Schneider Electric to bring this industry-first initiative to life, and one which aligns so closely with the values of our IngramMicroESG programme perfectly - supporting our ambitions to help businesses become more sustainable, globally.” Serving the market for second life IT Research published by Canalys in 2024 found that 50% of partners expect to generate revenue from sustainability solutions this year, and that a further 92% of customers are seeking guidance from partners around sustainable product procurement processes, including circular IT systems. Schneider Electric’s new circular UPS offer not only support partners’ ambitions to capture growth opportunities associated with sustainable products but enables them to act as trusted partner for take-back, recycle and replacement services, while meeting local environmental and regulatory requirements such as the European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), Paris agreement, and the United Nations (UN) climate objectives. According to the Circularity Gap report 2023, a transition to a global circular economy will allow us to fulfil people's needs with only 70% of the materials we now extract and use – moving human activity back within the safe limits of the planet. Schneider Electric’s own research showed that products from the circular economy can reduce CO2 emissions by an average of 35% compared to first-time manufacturing – a transformation which involves profound supply chain changes to recover products and equipment for reconditioning, repair or remove spare parts to repair others. From an environmental standpoint, Schneider Electric’s new circular UPS offer requires key processes which include taking back the end-of-life UPS, detailed diagnosis and testing, dismantling and refurbishment of all single critical parts and end of use components such as batteries, switches and LEDs, reassembly, and rigorous testing – all prior to repackaging and resale, with the same alignment on applicable standards, quality and warranty as a brand-new UPS. Further, as the UPS solutions require less primary extraction of raw materials, and a reduction of potentially harsh or hazardous substances, customers are also more resilient against fluctuations in the pricing and availability of raw materials, and importantly, can ensure that embodied CO² or Scope 3 emissions associated with the production process are far lower than that of a standard system. Delivering circular solution for CGR Group One high-profile adopter of Schneider Electric’s circular UPS solutions is The CGR Cinemas group, which operates 713 movie theatres across France. CGR is well-known as a major player in the French film industry, leading for several decades and is the second largest operator of cinemas in the region. A key part of its strategy is to create places where emotions, exchanges and experiences are lived and reinvented without respite, and it has developed a park of 45 premium ICE rooms in its cinemas, including the deployment of 4K laser projectors within its theatres and new comfort rooms for an ever more qualitative experience. Protecting its critical systems from power failures is vital to the customer experience, so it chose Schneider Electric’s new circular UPS offer not only for the quality of its innovative products, but because the company’s commitments to creating environmentally friendly technologies met CGR’s requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability. By using Schneider Electric’s circular Smart-UPS, CGR Cinemas will save 11T600 (11,600 tonnes) of CO² emissions, while safeguarding their critical equipment. Michael Cron, Logistics and Purchasing Director, CGR Group, notes, "Schneider Electric’s choice was natural, as their commitment to environmentally friendly products is in perfect harmony with our values of sustainability. Their innovative and eco-friendly approach, while meeting our high-performance requirements, is fully in line with our ambitions for environmental responsibility and efficiency. This choice, both technical and economic, can only be realised and sustained through common interaction and collaboration." For more from Schneider Electric, click here.

Report finds gaps in UK data centre decarbonisation strategy

A significant 85% of UK data centre businesses report confidence in the cost-effectiveness, reliability, and environmental sustainability of their energy strategies, according to research conducted by True, powered by Open Energy Market. The findings, detailed in a new white paper, Mind The Gap: From Ambition To Action, explore the commercial imperatives driving energy procurement and sustainability strategies among UK businesses. While many organisations report high confidence in their current strategies, underlying challenges threaten to undermine these efforts, exposing a risky 'set and forget' mentality that could have significant implications for hindering commercial benefits as well as the future of the UK’s sustainability efforts. Almost all UK data centre businesses (89%) believe they are prepared to tackle challenges such as energy market volatility and tighter environmental regulations within the next 12 months. Despite this reported confidence, there is a concern that businesses may be overestimating their readiness, leading to complacency and missed opportunities for optimisation. For example, this overconfidence is contrasted by the 31% of data centre businesses reporting integration of new data-led technologies within existing systems is a significant hurdle. Brand reputation and public image has also been identified as a key concern by four in ten (41%) data centre businesses, which is much higher than the overall national average (27%) for UK businesses. Chris Maclean, CEO, True, powered by Open Energy Market, comments, “This shouldn’t be about competing priorities; it’s about recognising that sustainability can drive commercial benefits. As part of a high-visibility, energy-intensive industry, data centre businesses need to shift their perspective to see sustainability as a pathway to commercial gain, or they risk losing competitive advantage, missing out on big tech or corporate tenders and falling behind in an evolving market landscape where sustainability is increasingly tied to business success”. Plus, data centre businesses report common challenges for implementing sustainable energy practices. These include limited availability of renewable energy sources (29%), financial constraints (25.5%), followed by extended timelines for approval and decision-making processes and operating in silos with fragmented net zero plans (23.5%). These obstacles underscore the need for streamlined processes and better access to expertise to drive effective sustainability initiatives that enhance commercial performance. The introduction of new technology to monitor and improve energy usage is a prominent strategy, adopted by 43% of data centre organisations. However, from a strategic standpoint, the survey reveals a complex landscape of decision-making authority over sustainable energy strategies. The data centre industry is in a unique position compared to the rest of the sectors surveyed (food and drink, manufacturing, and hospitality), where Heads of Sustainability edge out CFOs as the final sign-off authority (41% percent versus 13%). Still, almost half of data centre organisations (45%) report a four-to-six month timeline for signing off energy and sustainability projects, with 23% taking seven-to-nine months. Lengthy approval processes may hinder timely implementation of crucial initiatives. Moreover, the research reveals limited evaluation methods for sustainable energy transition action plans. Only 17% of data centre organisations track and analyse energy consumption data, and similarly few review compliance with environmental regulations (17.6%) or compare performance against industry standards (15.6%). True provides a comprehensive solution to these challenges. By unifying energy procurement and net zero strategies in one platform, True empowers businesses to make data-driven decisions and build stronger financial grade business cases for their sustainability initiatives. Chris adds, “There is a startling paradox within UK data centre businesses: high confidence in energy strategies coexists with significant gaps that need urgent attention. While many feel prepared for market challenges, the reality is that navigating the complexities of the energy landscape requires more than just confidence and ambition – it requires action. “Businesses need to actively engage with specialists and adopt robust evaluation methods to optimise their energy and sustainability strategies effectively. By taking these steps, companies can not only address the gaps but carve a commercially competitive path to net zero, ensuring they are resilient, compliant, and truly sustainable in the long term.”

Energy efficient data centres could save up to €25bn by 2030

Nutanix has announced the findings of a new report focused on improving sustainability in data centres.  Atlantic Ventures' report, Improving Sustainability in Data Centers 2024, reveals how next-generation data centre architectures, including hybrid cloud and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), can significantly reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and drive cost savings across the EMEA region. In just six years, the report finds that modernising data centres with HCI-based solutions could save up to 19 million tCO2e in the EMEA region, equivalent to the emissions of almost 4.1 million cars. It could also save €25 billion by 2030 from improved energy and operational efficiencies. As businesses face-up to post-Covid digitisation and the demands for data-hungry technologies, such as AI and IoT, the report identifies an increasing urgency for action. The dual challenges of rising energy costs and increased regulatory pressure to reduce their environmental impact are making this more difficult for IT leaders. As a result, energy efficiency has become a top priority for CIOs and data centre managers. Key findings from the report including UK specific data: 27% energy savings - Switching from traditional 3-Tier architectures to an HCI-based platform can reduce energy consumption by more than 27% annually, helping companies cut both operational costs and emissions. Massive regional impact - Across the EMEA region, a full-scale transition could save up to 92TWh of electricity and eliminate 19 million tons of CO₂e between 2024 and 2030 - comparable to the emissions of 4.1 million cars. In the UK alone, this amount would equate to savings of 13.4TWh of electricity. €25 billion in savings - The financial windfall from reduced electricity consumption could reach €25 billion by 2030, offering businesses a rare opportunity to align sustainability with profitability. Due to relatively high price levels for electricity the potential electricity cost savings for companies and service providers in the UK could be as much as €3.3 billion between 2024-2030 when switching on-premise from 3-Tier to HCI. HCI in the cloud - Migrating HCI platforms to co-location or public cloud environments magnifies these benefits, with potential energy savings reaching as high as 54% compared to traditional on-premise data centres. This is due to the low PUE of Public Cloud Providers as well as the flexibility in providing on-demand computing capacity.  Disaster recovery efficiency - HCI-based architecture also enables lean, energy-efficient disaster recovery systems in the cloud, reducing the infrastructure footprint while maintaining scalability and responsiveness. The UK‘s strategic position and tech infrastructure continue to attract investments - This is making it a significant player in the worldwide data centre landscape. The energy consumption of traditional Infrastructure is estimated to decrease from 7.7TWh in 2024 to 6.1TWh in 2030, with cloud solutions having the major share of roughly 68% in 2030.

OpenUK delivers data centre sessions at Labour Conference

OpenUK, the non-profit organisation representing the UK’s Open Technology sector, hosted two panel sessions during the recent Labour Party Conference in Liverpool. The first panel was titled The Intelligent Environment: Building Sustainable Data Centres with OpenUK - the only session during the conference that covered data centres’ essential role to the UK economy. Only a week after data centre environments had been re-classified as critical national infrastructure by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology - and hot on the heels of Amazon committing to spending £8 billion in the UK data centre space over the next five years - the panel provided attendees with an overview of the challenges faced by the UK’s data centre sector and the impact of policy decisions on energy consumption, planning decisions and construction, delivery of services and technology innovations like AI and the benefits to be reaped from open technology. Amanda Brock, CEO at OpenUK, says, “The technology sector is a powerhouse for the economy and at the heart of supporting the UK’s future growth, but only if it has the right support and policy in place. DSIT’s recent announcement re-categorising data centres as critical national infrastructure points to a healthy desire to support expanding their operations, but this challenge reaches far beyond planning restrictions identified in the Labour Manifesto, if those goals are to be delivered. For our AI and digital futures to flourish, understanding critical infrastructure - including the platform economy built on open source software, upgrading networks and open hardware environments to enable state of the art data centres - must be in place if the UK’s technology sector is to succeed. “The UK’s leadership in the AI sector punches well above its weight due to the quality of the research taking place in the UK and its available talent. But the foundation is shaky and others are snapping at the UK’s heels. To capitalise on these advantages, and to support business growth, the Government must build on the UK’s wealth of talent around open source and AI. The UK’s open source community is currently not making it into the conversation and we are seeing France push ahead in AI openness.”
