\n

In 2023, the Data Centre Expert Group<\/a> experts were once again actively involved in various Competence Group meetings, workshops and panel discussions. In terms of content, 2023 was dominated by topics from the areas of energy efficiency and waste heat utilisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first event of the year on 23 February 2023<\/strong> was a virtual exchange on the new award criteria for the \u201cBlue Angel \u2013 Data Centres DE-UZ 228\u201d eco-label. Although the Blue Angel criteria recognise existing and practised concepts for data centres\u2019 own power supply, the 42 participating members of the Expert Group saw similar problems with waste heat utilisation \u2013 a new Blue Angel criterion \u2013 as with the German federal government\u2019s planned Energy Efficiency Act. \u201cOne of the biggest challenges continues to be finding suitable customers for waste heat\u201d, summarised the Expert Group. \u201cAs the necessary municipal heating network infrastructure has not been developed to the required extent, operators of data centres have so far found few customers.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On 23 March<\/strong>, 56 representatives of the Expert Group met for another virtual exchange. Under the leadership of Dr B\u00e9la Waldhauser, the group discussed current developments in the German Electricity Price Brake Act (StromPBG), which came into force on 1 March 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Data Centre World 2023, the Expert Group organised two discussion rounds on the topics of \u201cWhere will the digital markets of the future emerge?\u201d and \u201cFramework conditions for digital ecosystems\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 9 November<\/strong> 2023, 59 participants from the Data Centre Expert Group met for another virtual exchange on the topic of \u201csmart energy storage\u201d. The participants discussed possible potential and technological developments, such as ice storage and latent heat storage, to better use DC waste heat in the future in accordance with the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act. The virtual meeting served as preparation for a face-to-face event in March 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second event of this year\u2019s Data Centre Roadshow took place in Munich on 14 November<\/strong>.

On 15 December<\/strong>, members of the Expert Group discussed intelligent waste heat distribution using AI support at the Borderstep Institute\u2019s DC2HEAT project kick-off. eco is one of several project partners in the project and supports the project as a member of the advisory board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, members of the Expert Group had the opportunity to discuss the challenges of current DC growth on the podium as part of the DE-CIX Roundtable series in Hamburg (28 September), Munich (9 September), Munich (16 November) and Frankfurt (23 November).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
