Global cloud companies have all committed to bold sustainability targets for reducing energy and water consumption. The Edged platform provides a new tool for meeting those targets—while also cutting costs.
Our data centers are designed to cut overhead energy consumption 74% portfolio-wide compared with the global average and operate efficiently, even in the hottest climates. The platform’s European operations will be carbon neutral through a combination of solar and wind PPAs, utility green energy programs and certified carbon credits. The facilities are backed up by ultra-clean (Tier 4 Final) critical power systems that virtually eliminate the direct air emissions that are typical in data centers.
Solar Glass
Our data centers in Barcelona and Madrid-Getafe, Spain are covered with photovoltaic glass panels which help power the facilities.
Biofuel Standby Power
The standby generators at Edged facilities in Spain are powered by biofuel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) which reduces their carbon emissions by 90%.
On-site Solar Farm
All our sites in Spain are powered by 100% renewable energy. At our data center in Bilbao-Arasur, that includes power from an adjacent 135 MW solar farm which is currently under construction, along with other clean energy sources.
