Summary
Italian utility A2A and French tech firm Qarnot on Wednesday inaugurated a data centre in Italy that aims to capture waste heat from computer servers and channel it directly into a local heating grid.
Located in the city of Brescia, in northern Italy, the facility uses liquid-cooling technology. "The rapid spread of data centers and the growing electrification of consumption require major investments in power grids. But data centers also offer a remarkable opportunity for cities with district heating networks," A2A CEO Renato Mazzoncini said at the inauguration.
