A Waltham Cross datacentre in Hertfordshire was officially opened and can reuse excess heat from servers and equipment to warm local homes, schools and businesses free of charge. The facility employs advanced air-cooling technology to limit water consumption to domestic-use levels and supports off-site heat recovery to reroute surplus heat. The opening is part of a two-year £5bn investment in the UK that covers capital expenditure, research and engineering.
