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

CBN是一家合作社，在过去的15年里，通过与弗吉尼亚媒体和城市光纤等大型运营商共享议会资产，成功地改造了英国各城镇的数字基础设施。数字基础设施已成为地方经济和公共服务转型的有力工具，CBN凭借其Thin Layer模型、数字交换和Dig Once信托一直是思想领袖。CBN与英国和国际上的地方当局（LAs）、企业和非政府组织合作，并在过去的8年里与布莱克浦委员会密切合作，最初是在共享光纤网络上，最近是在数据中心上。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，这些网络正在向数字基础设施投资数十亿美元。自《巴黎气候变化协定》签署以来，CBN根据实施数字基础设施新商业模式所积累的知识，开发了净零技术的新模型。它创立并推出了一个电动汽车充电合作社（Charge my Street），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供热网络提供服务。数据中心的多余热量可以用来为家庭、公共和商业建筑供暖，这是一个真正的机会，但发展这一市场存在一系列障碍。用于数字基础设施的创新合作方法可以塑造新兴的供热及其配套基础设施市场。例如，产品和定价标准化为更多的参与者和投资者打开了大门。CBN在数据网络、数据中心、热网、能源网络和可再生能源发电的创新方面处于独特的地位，能够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。该项目将开发CBN的开发能力：与数据中心运营商和地方当局合作的试点项目一个新的品牌——网络。Coop反映了与能源网络的合作。市场和销售策略，向客户和利益相关者推广解决方案。内部质量体系和标准（iso），以确保合同投标符合要求。该项目将带来专家支持，并为员工提供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.
