Telehouse West is building a new green data centre in east London, it has been reported.
The firm claims that the new storage facility, which has been designed to house 19,000 square metres of server racks and server cabinets, will tackle the capacity problem being faced by the city, according to eWeek Europe.
It will open on March 31st 2010 and Telehouse West has already signed up a number of clients to store their data in the £80 million IT warehouse.
The facility has been dubbed a one-stop-shop for co-location and managed services and the firm will build its own generator on site to ensure at least ten per cent of its energy comes from renewable sources.
Solar panels are being installed on the building's roof that will generate an estimated 6,000 kilowatt hours of energy per year.
Telehouse West's technical services director Bob Harris told the news provider that the firm's plan to use low-grade waste to generate 9MW of energy was the deciding factor in planning permission approval.
Recently, IT specialist Chris Atkins told an audience at IDC's ICT Efficiency and Sustainability Conference 2009 in London that the credit crunch was the reason many firms adopted green IT policies.
