Deep Green, a company that deploys small data centers close to swimming pools, is planning to deploy 400kW of compute hardware within a 150 sqm (1,614 sq ft) space at the Move Urmston Leisure center in Urmston, southwest of Manchester. It will be the company’s first deployment in the UK’s Northwest, with the waste heat set to warm the pool water.
“Our 400kW data center will provide tens of thousands of pounds of free heat energy each year to the leisure centre, and will save hundreds of tons of carbon in its lifetime,” Deep Green said.
Jo Cherrett, CEO of Trafford Leisure, a community interest company wholly owned by Trafford Council, which manages leisure in Trafford on behalf of the council, added: “We are so excited to get this project underway following the council’s approval. Our partnership with Deep Green firmly positions Trafford Leisure as an environmental trailblazer."
