The UK government has officially designated data centres as Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), placing them on par with essential services like energy and water systems. This CNI status highlights the crucial role that data centres play in driving the digital economy and protecting sensitive data, including medical records and financial transactions. With this designation, data centres can expect enhanced government support during incidents such as cyber-attacks, power outages, or extreme weather events.
At Clarke Energy, we understand the importance of data centre power and are committed to delivering energy resilience with sustainable solutions that ensure uninterrupted operations. Whether it’s hyperscale, edge or co-located, our extensive experience in providing power generation solutions for critical power settings makes us a trusted partner for data centres globally.
Tailored Power Solutions for Data Centres
Clarke Energy offers a full suite of data centre energy solutions designed to meet the growing demand for reliable and efficient power. Our approach ensures that data centres have access to energy resilience in high-performance systems across all phases of development:
- Engineering: Using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and mechanical and electrical engineering expertise, we meticulously plan and design bespoke energy systems for optimal performance.
- Installation: Our dedicated teams handle all aspects of project management, from installation to commissioning, ensuring seamless integration and functionality.
- Maintenance: With a global network of service engineers and advanced remote monitoring, we provide ongoing maintenance to keep your data centre power systems running efficiently.
Our power solutions include combined cooling and power (CCP) systems, hybrid power systems, and microgrids that incorporate renewable energy sources like renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen for use in fast-start gas engines. Additionally, we provide battery energy storage systems (BESS) to enhance energy resiliency. For prolonged power outages, our fast-start gas engines and diesel generators offer robust backup power, ensuring continued operation even in regions with unstable grid access.
One example of our expertise can be seen in our work with Citibank at their UK data centre. This project, supported by the UK Green Investment Bank, involved the installation of a CCP system, which generated 71% of the electricity needed to power the site. The system not only reduced Citi’s costs and greenhouse gas emissions but also set a benchmark for energy efficiency in the financial sector. You can read more about this project here.
