The Morning Brew's Kelcee Griffis is reporting on a new data center in Paris.
Equinix's data center in Paris is playing a significant role in the sustainability efforts of the 2024 Paris Olympics by using its excess heat to warm the Olympic Aquatic Centre's pools. The Equinix PA10 data center, designed to recover and export heat produced by customer equipment, transfers this surplus heat to the Plaine Saulnier urban development zone and the Olympic Aquatic Centre. This initiative not only supports the Olympic Games but also aligns with broader environmental goals. The data center is powered entirely by renewable energy and features additional sustainable elements like a rooftop garden with a beehive. This project highlights a practical application of waste heat from data centers, showcasing how industrial processes can contribute to environmental sustainability and community welfare.
