What Makes the New Zealand Data Center Market Stand Out?
Renewable Energy:
New Zealand has a high percentage of renewable energy sources, particularly hydroelectric, wind, and geothermal power. This abundance of clean energy makes it possible to run data centres sustainably and at a lower cost.
Government Support:
The New Zealand government has been supportive of technology and infrastructure investments, providing incentives and a favorable regulatory environment for data centre development.
Cool Climate:
The temperate climate reduces the need for artificial cooling, which is a significant cost factor for data centres. Lower cooling requirements lead to energy savings and a smaller carbon footprint.
Strategic Location:
New Zealand’s geographic location offers a strategic advantage for serving the Asia-Pacific region. New Zealand can serve as a key connectivity hub between Australia, Asia, and the Americas.
“These factors combined make New Zealand an attractive location for data centre investments”
Recent project Data centre Takanini (Fern)
Design and construction of this 8MW data centre was comprised of 2,000m2 of white space with a design capacity of 5,000w/m2. The data centre is designed to tier 3 compliance and ILF importance level. The 5,000m2 single level building was structured using a 500T cladded structural steel frame. The substructure scope included a raised building platform over 400 screw piles. This project included a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA), with core deliverables including the development of a reverse design brief, completion of the design, and open book procurement.
