NEC to expand its green data centers in Kanagawa and Kobe

Sep 23, 2022 Posted by MadalineDunn Published in Japan

NEC Corporation has announced that it is establishing two new green data centers, in response to the growing demand. The first is the "NEC Kanagawa Data Center: Phase 2 Building" which is scheduled to open in the second half of 2023, and the second is "NEC Kobe Data Center: Phase 3 Building," which is slated to begin operations in the first half of 2024.

The facilities will run on 100% renewable energy, which aligns with the company's goal for 2030 to reduce greenhouse gas by 55% compared to 2017 - a target which has been validated at the SBT 1.5°C level from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

According to the company, the renewable energy it utilizes for operations will be a combination of self-generated electricity from solar power sources, a green power certificate, and a non-fossil certificate with tracking.

There are 230 data centers in Japan.
