Summary
Microsoft has officially opened its new Danish data centre region to provide Microsoft customers in Denmark with local and secure cloud infrastructure.
Referred to as Denmark East, the new data centre region has campuses in Høje Taastrup, Køge and Roskilde on Zealand. The region has been designed with sustainability as a critical priority, with Microsoft having entered into long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) to provide 130 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy every year. It will also use HVO for backup power generation across the region.
The company said its data centre site in Høje-Taastrup will be Microsoft’s first operational at-scale waste heat recovery in Denmark – with the data centres engineered to recovery surplus heat for local district heating systems. It will have the capability to heat around 6,000 homes in the local area at first, with future expansion planned in Køge, the company said.
