Clean energy for tomorrow’s data centres - power, heat, water & onsite ESG innovation

As demand for digital infrastructure surges, resilient and sustainable power solutions are now central to the future of data centres.

In our upcoming Data Centre Series webinar, we will discuss the key strategies shaping next-generation data centre infrastructure and clean energy in the UK and Europe:  

Topics include: 

• slow network expansion and resulting capacity constraints in the Transmission System Operator (TSO) and Distribution System Operator (DSO) networks 
• securing reliable grid supply to ensure consistent and resilient operations 
• deploying innovative onsite generation, such as hydrogen fuel cells and gas-fired plants at least as a temporary solution until the network is able to deliver the requested capacity 
• capturing waste heat for improved efficiency and beneficial local reuse such as district heating networks, to fulfil legal requirements in terms of energy efficiency for data centres 
• monetising surplus energy within local markets 
• integrating microgrids to optimise costs and enhance operational resilience 
• cooperation with other market participants acting as microgrid network operators or energy suppliers given data centres typically avoid these roles. 

Join us as we explore how these approaches can advance sustainability, drive cost-effectiveness, and ensure reliability in modern data centre environments. 

For Irish-qualified lawyers, the webinar will qualify for one hour of general CPD with the Law Society of Ireland when watched live for the entirety.
