Data Centres, Designed Around Energy
We develop, build and operate data centres that are connected to renewable generation and storage from the ground up.
Computing Meets Renewable Energy
Data centres are among the most energy-intensive infrastructures in existence. Bright & Green approaches them from the energy side: integrated with renewable generation, battery storage and intelligent load management.
As a project developer with expertise in solar and storage, we combine computing capacity and sustainable energy supply into one coherent overall concept – from site selection through permitting to operation.
Our aim is a data centre that works not only reliably but also resource-efficiently – for example, by using the waste heat produced and closely coupling to renewable generation.
- Connection to renewable generation
- Integration of battery storage
- Waste-heat recovery and efficiency
- Site, permitting and operation
Our Offering for Data Centres
Energy-integrated data centres across the entire lifecycle.
Site Development
We assess and secure sites with a view to energy availability, grid and permitting feasibility.
- Site analysis
- Permitting feasibility
Energy Integration
We couple the data centre to renewable generation and storage for a sustainable supply.
- Solar connection
- Storage integration
Permitting & Grid
We manage permitting and grid connection as one coordinated overall process.
- Permitting management
- Grid connection
Construction & Delivery
We deliver construction with a focus on efficiency, reliability and sustainability.
- Turnkey delivery
- Efficient design
Waste-Heat Recovery
We review concepts for using the waste heat produced and thus raise overall efficiency.
- Heat concept
- Efficiency gains
Operation & Optimisation
We operate and optimise the facility with a view to availability and energy efficiency.
- Operation
- Load optimisation
Data centers designed for energy efficiency
Compute demand is growing – the question is how efficiently and how cleanly the required energy is supplied.
Renewable supply and efficiency
We plan data centers from the energy side: with renewable supply, deliberate load management and an architecture built for low PUE values. Energy efficiency here is not an afterthought, but a design principle.
From our experience with solar and battery storage, we bring the building blocks to combine supply, buffering and load management into a coherent energy concept.
- Renewable energy supply
- PUE optimisation as a design goal
- Integration of solar and storage
Waste-heat use and siting
A data center's largest unused resource is its waste heat. We examine how this heat can be sensibly captured and reused – as part of an integrated energy concept rather than a loss.
We consider siting, cooling concept and grid connection together, so that efficiency and security of supply fit from the outset.
- Waste-heat use and heat recovery
- Cooling concept and site assessment
- Grid connection and security of supply
