powered using clean energy from renewable sources with green certificates and solar PV roof panels. The PV system will generate over 83,000 kWh/yr with a CO2 emissions reduction of over 7.4 tonnes annually. A chilled water-cooling system

DATA CENTRE PROJECT
Heat re-use at the heart of new data centre project
A Manchester data centre is being developed with heat re-use capabilities, harnessing waste heat for conditioning, reuse and delivery to local projects in the Wythenshawe area. Teledata announced the project, dubbed MCR2, saying it will
incorporate heat exchangers to transfer the thermal load of the data centre cooling loop to a local community heating network via a heat pump system. This is also expected to reduce the amount of energy needed to deliver the required data centre cooling operation.
officer for Teledata, comments: “We have worked hard to ensure that sustainability principles are embedded at every stage of the development of our MCR2 facility. As a data centre provider, we have a responsibility to our clients to ensure that continuous capacity is available and is delivered sustainably, supporting clients as they strive to meet their ESG targets.” Teledata was acquired by
Farnborough-based Datum Datacentres in 2022 and the new data centre is being developed next to the existing facility.
