In its implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive, the tech giant client was required to produce a Sectoral Energy Roadmap to 2025 and 2050 to decarbonise its datacentre in Country X. Delta-EE supported this Roadmap development by identifying the scale of the challenge for datacentres, comparing options for decarbonisation, increased efficiency, onsite generation measures, sourcing renewable electricity contracts, etc.
Delta-EE discussed two approaches: (1) the ‘Outsourcing approach’ – a Roadmap which presents a lower level of challenge, and which reflects a path which may more likely be taken by other datacentres; and (2) the ‘Innovation approach’ – a more ambitious and innovative Roadmap involving deployment of multiple technologies that are currently at an immature development stage, and which requires both onsite deployment and some outsourcing.
