Summary

Heatworks has broken ground on a district heating scheme utilizing excess heat from an AWS data center in Dublin, Ireland.

The company last week broke ground on South Dublin County Council’s (SDCC) Tallaght District Heating Network at TU Dublin in Tallaght.

The network will use excess heat from a nearby AWS data center in the form of water heated via a heat exchanger. The cloud company isn't charging for providing the recycled heat to the scheme.

As DCD previously reported when the project was first announced late last year, the heat from AWS’s data center will be drawn from its hot aisle and run through a heat exchanger that both cools the data center and heats up water that is delivered to a nearby heat pump operated by Heatworks.

Finnish energy company Fortum is carrying out the design, installation, and operation of the Tallaght network.
