Thanks to Deep Green’s innovative solution, UK councils could soon turn to data centers to heat public pools. The tech firm captures excess heat from its data centers and uses it to warm swimming pools for free. With £200m investment from Octopus Energy, Deep Green aims to scale up and heat around 150 pools.
Mark Bjornsgaard, Deep Green’s CEO, highlighted the success at Exmouth Leisure Centre, where the pool enjoyed free heating 60% of the time. The UK government’s support for heat recycling, including a £65m fund, signals a promising future.
