Co-operative Heat And Data Centre Accelerator (CHADCA) - Creating the Future for Ethically Powered Data

CBN是一个合作社，在过去的15年里，它通过与Virgin Media和City Fiber等大型运营商共享议会资产，释放了价值，成功地改造了英国各地城镇的数字基础设施。数字基础设施一直是当地经济和公共服务转型的强大工具，CBN凭借其薄层模型、数字交易所和挖掘一次信托基金一直是思想的领导者。CBN与英国和国际上的地方当局(LAS)、企业和非政府组织合作，并在过去8年中与Blackpool Council密切合作，最初是在共享光纤网络方面，最近在数据中心方面。CBN于2010年成立了独立网络合作协会(INCA)，现在许多大型宽带网络都是该协会的成员，他们现在正在数字基础设施上投资数十亿美元。自《巴黎气候变化协定》以来，CBN基于实施数字基础设施新商业模式所积累的知识，开发了新的零净额技术模型。它创建并剥离了电动汽车充电合作社(Charge My Street)，该合作社现在拥有坎布里亚郡最大的公共快速充电网络。与供暖相关的排放量约占英国总排放量的三分之一，CBN认为，与不断增长和发展的数字网络相关的成熟方法也可以为热力网络提供服务。来自数据中心的免费余热被用来为家庭、公共和商业建筑供暖，这是一个真正的机会，也是发展这一市场的一系列障碍。用于数字基础设施的创新合作方法可以塑造热能及其配套基础设施的新生市场。例如，标准化的产品和定价向更多的参与者和投资者开放。CBN独特地定位于数据网络、数据中心、热力网络、能源网络和可再生能源发电的创新网络，以提出将为地方当局和利益相关者产生新价值的产品集和商业模式。该项目将发展CBN的开发能力：1.与数据中心运营商和地方当局进行试点2。一个新的品牌-networks.coop，反映了与能源网络的合作3。营销和销售战略，向客户和利益相关者推广解决方案4。内部质量体系和标准(ISO)，以确保合规的合同投标该项目将带来专家支持和回补工作人员的时间来开展这些活动。

CBN is a co-operative which has successfully transformed digital infrastructure over the last 15 years in towns and cities across the UK by unlocking value through sharing council assets with big operators like VirginMedia and City Fibre.Digital infrastructure has been a powerful tool for transformation for local economies and public services and CBN has been a thought leader with its Thin Layer Model, Digital Exchanges and Dig Once Trusts. CBN works with local authorities (LAs), businesses and NGOs, both in the UK and internationally and has worked closely with Blackpool Council over the last 8 years, initially on shared fibre networks and more recently on data centres. CBN founded the Independent Networks Co-operative Association (INCA) in 2010 which now counts many of the large broadband networks as members and who are now investing billions in digital infrastructure.Since the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, CBN has developed new models for Net Zero technologies based on the knowledge accrued for implementing new commercial models for Digital Infrastructure. It founded and spun out an EV Charging Co-op (Charge my Street) which now has the biggest public fast charging network in Cumbria. Emissions related to heating are approximately a third of total emissions in the UK and CBN sees that proven methodologies associated with growing and developing digital networks can also deliver for heat networks. There is a real opportunity for free excess heat from data centres to be used to warm homes, public and commercial buildings and a range of barriers to developing this market. The innovative co-operative approaches used for Digital Infrastructure can shape the nascent markets for heat and its supporting infrastructure. E.g. standardising products and pricing opens up heat to more actors and investors.CBN is uniquely positioned at the nexus of innovation in data networks, data centres, heat networks, energy networks and renewable energy generation to come up with the product sets and commercial models which will generate new value for Local Authorties and stakeholders.The project will develop CBN's capabilities to develop:1. pilots with data centre operators and Local Authorities2. a new brand - networks.coop which reflects work with energy networks3. marketing and sales strategies to promote solutions to customers and stakeholders4. internal quality systems and standards (ISOs) to ensure compliant bids for contractsThe project will bring in specialist support and backfill staff time to develop these activities.
