A Clean Green and Sustainable Solution |

The selected sites on which Data centres will be developed across the countries of Asia will service both primary production and secondary production / backup and business continuity.
The data centres will be based on the delivery of Tier 3+ and Tier 4 power infrastructure and mechanical services.
The Canberra Technology City project will be supported by dual power grid feeds to the campus site that will fulfil a backup role in case of failure with the onsite gas cogeneration plant. The power produced will provide the base load electricity to the Data centres on the campus and will prevent the burning of Coal from current Coal powered stations in NSW and Victoria. The onsite generation and the harvesting of the turbine exhaust heat to produce chilled water for the data centres use will achieve a 80% carbon emissions reduction for the campus Occupants compared to current old data centres in Canberra and around Australia that use coal generated electricity today. Such emission reduction will become a significant issue and demanded by investors as the Australian Community begin to appreciate that Corporate Data centres are the single largest consumer of power amongst all of the occupied real estate of a service based company and economy. Investors who are concerned about the environment and climate change impacts on our lives will begin to demand Corporate organisations take drastic steps to improve the electrical efficiency and get off the coal power grid.
By combining the gas power plant and data centres, TRE will be able to offer “world class carbon reduction ” facilities that will be able to provide a Company with the ability to meet carbon targets. Further, the ability to secure long term contracted power supply at confirmed rates will provide a hedge against rapidly increasing power charges delivered from coal based generation.
Onsite power generation will drive a 80% reduction in carbon emissions’ when compared to coal based power generation including the elimination of electricity transmission loss. |

Capitalising on Climates |

The Galileo Connect designed Data centres utilise free air cooling techniques through the placement of chillers on the roof structure of the Data centre. This capability further enhances the efficiency of the Data centre and assists in keeping power costs as low as possible.
Other initiatives will include:
• CO2 liquid cooling equipment to support high density cabinets
• Rainwater harvesting
• Increased data hall temperatures (less cooling)
• Energy efficient lighting |
