The Nordic region has become one of the world’s most important locations for new data center construction.
A defining feature of Nordic data centers is what happens to heat once it is removed from servers. Instead of being released into the atmosphere, many facilities capture the warm water generated by cooling systems and send it into municipal heating networks.
For example, Equinix operates facilities in Espoo, Finland whose cooling systems recover heat from servers and transfer it to the regional district heating grid. The recovered heat around four megawatts in the initial phase can supply enough energy to warm roughly 2,000 homes each year.
