Telecom Italia (TIM) has connected its data center outside Milan to a local district heating scheme and announced that waste heat from its TIM Enterprise data center in Rozzano will be used to warm more than 5,000 homes in the ALER district.
Elio Schiavo, TIM's chief enterprise and innovative solutions officer, said: “A milestone achieved first in Italy, thanks to the collaboration with GETEC and the Municipality of Rozzano, which testifies how TIM Enterprise is able to guarantee sustainable growth, making the operation of our plants even more efficient also from the energy consumption point of view.”
The project was done in partnership with GETEC and its subsidiary Atmos. “The partnership between us and TIM is a concrete step in the energy transition of our cities,” added Giovanni Pontrelli, CEO of GETEC. “The initiative, concretely unique in its kind, confirms our commitment to industrial development in Italy, promoting innovative and tailor-made solutions that accelerate decarbonization with more efficient energy models."
