Plus the climate here helps in reducing our impact on the environment when we cool our data centres. Maria Sundvall, Managing Director, Equinix Sweden Stockholm Data Parks A partnership comprising the City of Stockholm, Invest Stockholm, Stockholm Exergi, Ellevio and Stokab. The initiative seeks to help large data centers maximize cost efficiency and sustainability with low cost renewable electricity and paid-for heat recovery which is then distributed to Stockholm’s heating system. The long-term objective is to supply 10 percent of the city’s residential heating demand through recovered excess heat from data centers which will help the City become fossil fuel free by 2040. Stockholm Data Parks recently announced three new investments: Interxion-A Digital Realty Company, Advania Data Centers and IP-Only. More examples of companies already supplying excess heat to Stockholm Exergi are Ericsson and Bahnhof. Stockholm Exergi has been promoting heat recovery since 1979, with IBM’s data center as the first supplier of excess heat. Starting 2012, the work was intensified and a heat recovery offering named Open District Heating was launched. Today, there are some 30+ companies connected to the system.
