Datacentres where the green electricity is produced
THE MODEL
Four advantages of placing compute at the source
Relieves the electricity grid
Reduces energy loss
Clean renewable energy
Distributed and resilient
DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE & SUSTAINABILITY
Growth in AI and cloud demands rethought infrastructure
Rising use of AI, cloud and digital services demands massive compute — and that is putting the Danish electricity grid under historic pressure. At Edora we turn the logic around: we move the datacentres out to the energy, in close collaboration with Eurowind Energy and Aalborg University.
-
Less pressure on the grid: we consume the electricity locally rather than loading the infrastructure.
-
Minimised energy loss: the short distance from wind and sun to servers removes transport losses.
-
A direct green connection: clean, renewable energy powers digitalisation directly.
The first site is already under construction in Mariagerfjord.
-
It is easier and cheaper to send data over fibre optics to a datacentre than it is to transport electricity along a cable.
EDORA CLOUD CONNECT
We move data, not electricity
Denmark is strong on renewable energy production, but transporting the electricity is increasingly becoming a bottleneck. That is why it makes more sense to use the electricity where it is produced and connect the datacentres with our own optical fibre network. Data never leaves Edora’s closed network in transit.
