Seawater cooling delivers a sustainable Start

Omer Wilson, Chief Marketing Officer, Start Campus, outlines the company’s plans to develop a 1.2GW data centre campus in Sines, Portugal – an €8.5bn AI infrastructure-focused investment, the project runs on 100% renewable energy, targeting a best-in-class PUE of 1.1 and WUE of 0 by harnessing ocean cooling. Omer explains why Portugal is an increasingly attractive destination for data centres, what Start Campus is doing for the local community in SINES and how its sustainability focus is one of several differentiators when it comes to data centres in Europe and beyond.
