techUK described the data centres market as “the backbone of the UK economy”. But as data centres move beyond traditional locations into semi-rural or urban locations, public perception becomes even more important. How can we quantify their value? How are data centre operators engaging with their host communities? And how are bigger sites enabling a more creative approach to design? While there’s an obvious opportunity to recycle the vast amounts of heat that data centres produce, this hasn’t yet taken off in the UK. What’s missing? How do we see this progressing? Here to answer all these questions and more are Emma Fryer, director public policy Europe at CyrusOne, James Donagh, development economics director at Stantec, and Stephen Meleady, MEP director and data centres sector lead at Stantec.
