DG01 is now live in Urmston, Greater Manchester, delivering high-performance, AI-ready compute with a PUE below 1.2, up to 150kW per rack, and carrier-neutral connectivity across 20+ providers.
The site is operational, resilient, and ready to hosting your compute workloads.
What makes it different is what happens to the heat.
~96% of the electricity used in computing converts to heat. At conventional sites, that heat is wasted. In DG01, it is captured and fed directly into the heating system at Move Urmston leisure centre next door, generating ~£80,000 in annual energy savings and avoiding approximately ~150 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
For organisations across Greater Manchester, this means high-performance local compute, without the cost, carbon, or compromise of traditional infrastructure.
400 kW
Total site capacity - enough to support demanding AI and HPC workloads at scale
Up to 150kW
Per rack - suitable for the latest GPU-dense inference and training deployments
<1.2 PUE
Significantly more efficient than the UK data centre average of ~1.5
The details
Trafford Leisure has partnered with with Deep Green to reduce energy costs and move away from carbon-intensive fossil fuel boilers at the leisure centre.
Move Urmston is the first public leisure centre in the North West and the second in the UK to benefit from heat recaptured from a Deep Green data centre.
