Waste heat from data centres could heat over 3.5 million UK homes
Simon Kerr, head of heat networks at EnergiRaven, discusses the recent analysis from EnergiRaven and Viegand Maagøe finds that projected growth in data centres will produce enough waste heat to warm millions of homes in the UK by 2035 – if the infrastructure is in place to take advantage of it. Simon goes on to explain how the UK risks missing out on a major source of low-cost home heating if it fails to invest in the Heat Highways needed to capture waste heat from the next generation of data centres.

How tier two locations are changing data centre planning
Christina Mertens, vice president of business development, EMEA, at VIRTUS Data Centres, explains that, for data centre operators, the question is no longer only where capacity can be deployed quickly, but where it can be sustained, expanded and operated reliably over long time horizons. This shift has brought tier two locations into sharper focus. These locations are not replacing core markets, but they are increasingly shaping how new capacity is planned and managed over time.

A new benchmark for high-density multi-fibre testing
Nigel Hedges, Application and Technical Specialist at Fluke Networks explains that, as fibre density increases and performance margins tighten; driven by AI, cloud, and next-generation digital infrastructure, contractors face mounting pressure to test and certify complex fibre systems quickly and accurately. Fluke Networks has launched CertiFiber™ Max, said to be the industry’s first third-generation optical loss test set (OLTS) designed to meet these. Built on the trusted Versiv™ platform and integrated with LinkWare™, CertiFiber Max enables technicians to certify up to 24 fibres in under one second.

AI - time for a rethink?
Claire Keelan, UK MD at Onnec, is warning that the UK will fall short of its AI ambitions and data centre expansion targets, unless it tackles the growing workforce shortage by tapping into underused talent – particularly women and flexible workers. With AI demand forecast to drive a fivefold increase in UK data centre capacity by 2030, and increasing investment from major tech providers, Claire says the sector won’t keep up unless it modernises how it attracts, trains, and mobilises people.
