UK Grid Nominated for Green Initiative Award

UK Grid is proud to have been nominated for "Best European Green Initiative" award at the 6th Data Centre Europe event. Nominees for this award and others has attracted the likes of Telecity Group, Equinix Europe, BT, Control Circle, IBM and Interxion.

The Best European Green Initiative award looks at initiatives a data centre has implemented to reduce its environmental impact and how it measures its environmental efficiency. It then goes on to look in percentage terms, what impact your initiative has had on your environmental impact and how this is measured.

The awards ceremony is at the events closing gala dinner in Nice on the 23rd April 2010.

This award highlights the drive for data centres throughout Europe to reduce their carbon footprint and to build and operate carbon balanced data centres to reduce their impact on the environment.
