Summary
TBH has published a report proposing integrated utility precincts for data centre development, arguing that the model could help address growing pressure on power, water, land and planning systems.
Examples cited in the report suggest parts of the model are already emerging in several regions. In Asia-Pacific and the United States, clusters of data centres are increasingly being linked with renewable power, battery storage and recycled water systems in response to local grid and water constraints.
In the Middle East, the report points to large solar developments and early hydrogen schemes as examples of shared utility infrastructure supporting energy-intensive digital projects. Across Europe, it highlights district energy networks that connect data centres to broader heat, power and water systems, including arrangements that reuse waste heat.
