One of the largest installations of an ATES system
The site will utilise one of the world?s largest installations of an Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) system which will significantly improve the efficiency of the facility?s cooling capabilities, and contribute to the data centre?s industry-leading environmental performance.

Innovation in thermal technology?????????
ATES is an innovative thermal technology which utilises the naturally stored groundwater found in Amsterdam?s unique geography. The system works in harmony with the seasons by storing water in underground wells which is warmed by waste heat from the data centre in the summer and cooled by the lower external temperatures in the winter. The cool water is stored in the ground and is then used in summer as a part of the cooling process.
