Climate Change Agreement for Data CentresClimate Change Agreement • September 8th, 2016
Contract Type FiledSeptember 8th, 2016We proposed that a non-linear series of targets for efficiency improvements in data centres would be most appropriate for the sector. We suggested that the series was loaded so that the most ambitious targets occurred in the second and third target periods rather than the first and fourth. This approach would give the sector time to implement efficiency measures but will still deliver approximately the same net carbon reductions as a linear target. Our proposal was illustrated in the chart and our reasoning is explained below. The proposal was accepted by DECC.DECC has now been superseded by BEIS (Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy)
