Telehouse Opens Primary Substation for its London Data Centres

LONDON, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

          Telehouse the only commercial data centre provider with a privately owned

                                    primary substation

    Telehouse [http://www.telehouse.net ] the global data centre provider has opened a new
primary power substation alongside its existing London Docklands data centres. The move
will increase the impact of potential electricity capacity and allows for a direct
connection to the National Grid.

    Power and electrical shortages in London have been an increasing concern ever since
the Olympics took hold of the city last year and securing consistent power availability is
a growing headache for many high-power usage companies in the capital.

    The move future-proofs the Telehouse business and secures enough power to serve its
fast-growing customer base for another decade. The Docklands site is also supplied by
Smartest Energy, the renewable energy provider, allowing Telehouse to power its data
centres with green electricity. In addition to customer service benefits, the direct
connection to the National Grid means a reduction in transmission losses, reducing overall
energy costs and carbon tax.

    The new substation has been designed and built in conjunction with Mace, the
international construction company and ABB, the major power distribution technologist. The
new substation was completed within a swift 18-month period setting a new industry
benchmark.

    The GBP15 million substation has a total capacity of 50MVA and two 132kV power lines
directly connected to the National Grid, designed and constructed to a specification
exceeding the highest UKPN tier of substations in technical delivery. The Docklands site
now reaches 40MW scalable to 50MW and holds two 50kVA transformers offering N+N
redundancy, improving the overall uptime of its power provisioning levels for its
customers.

    Robert Harris, Technical Director at Telehouse comments, "The completion of this
substation was achieved within a short timeframe and makes Telehouse the only commercial
data centre provider with a privately owned primary substation. This latest development
serves to reiterate our close working relationship with the National Grid, enabling us to
ensure more reliable and consistent power in an environmentally responsible manner."
