Conapto’s Post

Following our post yesterday, learn further about the opportunities and benefits to the #datacentre sector by participating in demand response through this talk our Founder Ed Ansett joined with Data Centre Ireland.    The debate with industry leaders from INNIO Group, DATA PLEX and Edina discussed the practical realities and complexities for operators of delivering electricity back to the grid through #demandresponse and started with a simple question: “How would you attract data centre operators to participate in demand response programs?”   Read and watch here: https://lnkd.in/eix9fPd6

Looking forward to Thursday 18th April at 10 AM CET (9 AM ET) when Stefan Nilsson from Conapto, Staffan Reveman, Reveman Energy Consulting, Oskar Burstrand at Nordic Industry Advisory and I will discuss the following in the webinar hosted by DCD>Academy. * The future of the European data center market and how to tackle the challenges ahead * How the role of the FLAP-D markets will change amid power struggles and latency requirements * The potential for growing markets like Sweden, and how they can be a solution for customers seeking green capacity and rapid deployment #datacenter #sustainability #energyefficiency #colocation #colo #hyperscaler #AI #generativeAI #latency #EED #EUregulation #flexibilityservices #FFR #DatacenterAsAnEnabler #research #innovation #RISE https://lnkd.in/dktq7xmh

👤Data Center Nation Warsaw 2024👤 Yesterday, our CEO, James Hart, and Director of Project Management, Chris Coward, attended the Data Center Nation Conference in Warsaw. Data Center Nation is the flagship Polish Data Centre event gathering digital infrastructure experts across the globe.🏢 The event offered key insights into a plethora of topics including: ➡️ Current and future opportunities within the Polish Data Centre market ➡️ How Data Centres are forming a Net Zero blueprint for energy-intensive industries ➡️ The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Data Centre IT Infrastructure With an estimated size of 309.81 MW in 2024, which is expected to reach 561.05 MW by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.61% during the same period, the Polish Data Centre Market is in the midst of its largest expansion cycle ever.📈 https://lnkd.in/einpxT3a #DataCenterNation #DataCentre #DataCenters #Digitalinfrastructure #Networking #Innovation

🎙 Thank you to everyone who joined our webinar, co-hosted by CISPE (Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe) and The European Data Centre Association - EUDCA, sponsored by #EUSEW. 📽 Missed out to join us live? The recording is now available: https://lnkd.in/epK2Wq7Q The consensus after a fascinating discussion: While progress has been made in using data centres as an alternative source of heat, achieving a #NetZero future requires removing policy and bureaucratic hurdles, creating a market, and fostering collaboration among different stakeholders. Marco Bolchi opened the discussion by explaining how uncertainties within the regulatory framework hamper the synergies between data centres and #energy consumers. Regulators, he said, can “establish policies and guidelines to actually promote data heat use and then create a market.” Dr. Béla Waldhauser agreed, explaining how the lack of a regulatory framework has limited private sector investment. “It's not only about sustainability, it's also about being commercially attractive.” However, the path to using heat from data centres for our communities requires stakeholder collaboration, said Felix Kriedemann. He cited the example of an energy community, a democratic legal entity that provides renewable energy solutions. “What this means is essentially that citizens come together, they create a legal entity, most of the time as a cooperative, so that they can become active participants in the energy market and reap these benefits.” But, as Nikolaos Kontinakis pointed out, this comes back to the need for a market. One of the reasons why heat from data centres hasn’t been widely used in his view, is because the market for it hasn’t been created yet. Nonetheless, if the heat from data centres can be used widely, it can contribute to the continent becoming carbon-free, according to Pauline Lucas: “In the near future, data centres will be our sources to be carbon neutral.” 👏 Thanks to all speakers for their insights and to Emma Fryer for moderating a great discussion.   For an in-depth look at the topics discussed, access the presentation slides here: https://lnkd.in/edQaggdt #Heatreuse #Europe #Datacentres #Webinar
