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

在过去的15年里，CBN通过与VirginMedia和City Fibre等大型运营商共享理事会资产，成功地改造了英国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，数字交换和一次挖掘信托成为思想领袖。CBN与英国和国际上的地方当局（LA）、企业和非政府组织合作，并在过去8年中与布莱克浦理事会密切合作，最初是在共享光纤网络方面，最近是在数据中心方面。CBN于2010年成立了独立网络合作协会（印加），该协会目前拥有许多大型宽带网络的成员，这些网络目前正在投资数十亿美元用于数字基础设施。自巴黎气候变化协定以来，CBN根据为实施数字基础设施新商业模式而积累的知识，开发了新的净零技术模式。它成立并分拆了一个电动汽车充电合作社（充电我的街道），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，与不断发展和发展的数字网络相关的成熟方法也可以为供热网络提供服务。有一个真实的机会，从数据中心免费多余的热量被用来温暖家庭，公共和商业建筑和一系列的障碍，以发展这一市场。用于数字基础设施的创新合作方法可以塑造新兴的供热市场及其支持基础设施。例如，标准化产品和定价为更多参与者和投资者打开了大门。第一财经在数据网络、数据中心、热力网络、能源网络和可再生能源发电的创新中处于独特的位置，可以提出产品集和商业模式，为地方当局和利益相关者创造新的价值。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3的合作。向客户和经销商推广解决方案的营销和销售策略4.内部质量系统和标准，以确保合规的合同投标该项目将带来专家支持和回填工作人员的时间来制定这些活动。

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.
