‘Data centres have got a huge problem with heat,’ explained Mark Bjornsgaard of start-up Deep Green earlier this year. ‘A lot of the money that it costs to run a data centre is taken up in getting rid of the heat and so what we’ve done is taken a very small bit of a data centre to where the heat is useful and required.’
Elements Green, a UK-based renewables developer, has unveiled plans for the UK’s first 1GW solar and energy storage park which would be located to the northwest of Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire. The site is of such a scale that on its own, it would contribute 1.5% towards the government’s target of 70GW solar capacity by 2035
