Sæby District Heat Plant is a well managed district heat and power plant, owned by its 3.600 end consumers, as a non-profit limited liability company. Sæby DHP´s vision is to be the leading CO2 free District Heating plant in Denmark, through innovative partnerships and using new technology and solutions.

Sæby DHP have focus on delivering stable, environment friendly and cost-effective district heating to end-consumers and nearby district heating companies.

Currently the district heat and electricity is produced with a combination of natural gas engines, natural gas and electric boilers and solar heat panels, delivering 80.000 MWh of district heating and more than 30.000 MWh of electricity per year.

With this new solution connected with the datacenter campus, it will be possible for Sæby DHP to supply heat to neighboring heat plants within 15 km radius, which have a potential of 200.000 MWh of district heating a year.

When the datacenter campus is fully build the capacity will be 100 MW and with the flexibility to go from 2 kW and up to 150 kW in one cabinet depending on the server technology.

This will be the first CO2 negative datacenter in the world.
