ASP Data Center has announced it is collaborating with Lyse, a energy and infrastructure company in Norway, to make use of the excess heat generated at their K11 (Forus, Norway) data center.
Through this partnership, heat that would otherwise go unused will be fed into Lyse’s district heating network, helping to warm nearby buildings and support more efficient energy use in the local community. Operating a data center requires significant energy, and keeping servers cool generates heat. By working with Lyse, ASP Data Center can redirect this heat to a useful purpose. The company says the impact may be modest, but they see it as a meaningful step toward more sustainable operations.
Key aspects of the collaboration include:
- District cooling from Lyse to maintain stable temperatures in the data center
- Distribution of excess heat to buildings connected to the district heating network
- A flexible approach that benefits both operations and the community
