A future-ready blueprint

The jury highlighted firstcolo's holistic sustainability strategy, proven reductions in energy and resource consumption, and the project's strong potential for innovation, scalability, and transferability to other sites. "The journey to FRA7 began with a clear strategic vision: to build a facility that stands as both a technical flagship and an ecological benchmark," Evans recalled. FRA7 combines next-generation cooling technologies with a modular, scalable architecture designed for high-density and AI workloads, targeting a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of below 1.2. "High-density liquid cooling shows the path forward," Evans added. "It achieves efficiency levels beyond what air cooling can deliver. FRA7 will run on certified green electricity, while excess heat will be fed into the municipal district heating grid. Recyclable materials will also play a key role in construction." Built as a dynamic infrastructure, FRA7 is designed to evolve with new technical capabilities while maintaining consistently high efficiency. "Its significance extends beyond the site itself," Evans concluded. "FRA7 demonstrates that high-performance data centers can operate sustainably while being fully integrated into local energy and heating networks."
