Penta Infra , a fast-growing provider of reliable and sustainable data centres in Europe , has announced the acquisition of a site in Copenhagen that will be developed into a state-of-the-art data centre of over 20,000m ², delivering 20MW of IT load .
Penta Infra , a portfolio company of Photon Capital , currently operates 12 highly connected Edge and core data centres in Germany , France , Denmark , Belgium and the Netherlands .
With this acquisition , the company is enhancing its presence in Copenhagen with a second data centre .
Copenhagen is a key hub for data centre supply in Denmark and Europe due to its strategic location as a digital gateway to Europe , offering low-latency links to markets across the region .
Additionally , Denmark ranks among the world ’ s top countries for energy security and is a leader in renewable energy supply . Penta Infra plans to contribute to these sustainability achievements by constructing a data centre in accordance with the highest industry standards for energy efficiency .
PENTA INFRA STRENGTHENS FOOTPRINT IN COPENHAGEN WITH ACQUISITION OF DATA CENTRE SITE
Penta Infra also aims to recycle the heat generated by the data centre . This initiative has already been implemented at Penta ’ s other data centre in Copenhagen , which currently provides heat to approximately 1,500 homes and has been recognised with an award for the most sustainable data centre project in Denmark . �
