About the Event
Data centres in the UK and Ireland are under increasing pressure as energy demand, regulatory requirements and AI workloads continue to grow. Grid connection delays, new ESG and energy disclosure obligations, and the rapid rise of high-density AI infrastructure are forcing operators to rethink how data centres are designed, upgraded and operated.
As a result, this data centre energy efficiency and sustainability conference brings together data centre operators, engineers, sustainability leaders and solution providers who are addressing these challenges in real time. Over two focused days, the summit explores practical strategies to improve energy efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver resilient data centre operations in markets where power, cooling and capacity are under unprecedented strain.
What sets this data centre sustainability summit apart is its clarity. There is no generic sustainability discussion and no high-level theory. Instead, the agenda focuses on concrete strategies, lessons learned and actionable pathways shaped directly by data centre operators working at the front line of change.

Eight Critical Focus Areas
Regulatory Readiness: EED, GHG, Disclosure & Reporting
What operators must implement in 2026, how reporting impacts operations, and how compliance reshapes efficiency and investment priorities.
High-Density Cooling for AI Workloads
Liquid, hybrid and immersion cooling options, retrofit feasibility, cost models and real-world thermal strategies for 30-80kW racks.
Hybrid Power, Storage & On-Site Autonomy
Microgrids, PPAs, batteries and alternative strategies to bypass grid limitations and maintain expansion momentum.
AI-Driven Optimisation & Predictive Energy Management
Reducing waste, stabilising loads, extending equipment life and preventing SLA-impacting performance drift.
Heat Recovery & Reuse Integration
How UK & Ireland operators are embedding heat reuse into both new builds and retrofits — and where the real economic value lies.
Digital Twins & Real-Time Operational Modelling
Using simulation to reveal inefficiencies, justify capex, and avoid overbuilding or under-provisioning infrastructure.
Net-Zero Pathways with Hard ROI
How operators are translating targets into practical actions tied directly to cooling, energy, and power investments.
Modernising Legacy Facilities
Fast, non-disruptive retrofit approaches to unlock stranded capacity, reduce waste, and extend asset life under AI-driven demand.
