LDeX Signs deal with New Energy Suppliers to deliver Renewable Energy

LDeX (London Data Exchange) data center service providers announced that it has signed a deal with New Energy Supplier, UK to deliver 100 % renewable energy to its LDeX1 data center in Northwest London. LDeX had opened 22, 000 sq ft LDeX1 data center in last spring. This facility is capable of providing carbon free Co-location services to organizations.

Many data center owners and operators are implementing many alternative ways to make their facility more efficient. More and more data centers are constructing their facilities to gain Energy Star Certification, Green Globes certification and LEED standards. Gaining green certification is one of the ways to show its customers’ their commitment to operate eco-friendly data centers.

Chief Executive Officer at LDeX Robin Garbutt said, “LDeX’s 3 year road map was to operate our data centers on 100 percent renewable energy. To do this within LDeX1’s first year of operation is something we are very proud of. In an age where energy costs are rising and mounting pressure is put on businesses to take their impact on the environment seriously, we feel we have hit a sensible balance in committing to renewable energy in 2013.”

In addition to this LDeX data centers have gained ISO-5001 standards for energy efficiency and management. An ISO-5001 standard recognizes organizations with minimum energy wastage. LDeX claims to be one of the few organizations in UK to achieve his certification and standards.
