Galaxy Data Centers, a global data center provider, has signed an energy supply contract with Zendo Energy for 40GWh of energy annually to power its Redhill data center in Greater London.

The two companies signed a £20 million ($27.3m) contract for the supply of energy, which UrbanChain, a UK-based renewable energy trading platform, will provide. UrbanChain claims to ensure direct traceability to the origin of renewable energy sources, rather than relying on unlinked certificates.

“Our partnership with Zendo reflects the determination of both companies to overcome some of the biggest challenges facing the data center market today. We’re proud to be leading the charge in setting new industry standards for efficiency, sustainability, and technological innovation, beginning with this traceable contract. It offers a compelling model for any enterprise evaluating their colocation and hosting options,” said Ash Gupta, co-founder and managing partner of Galaxy Data Centers.

Zendo, which was launched earlier this year, is building the first Energy OS, which it claims will enable operators to forecast demand, secure customized energy tariffs, and adapt to the unpredictable demands of AI workloads.

“Galaxy shares our vision for the future of digital infrastructure that is clean, efficient, and flexible. We look forward to continuing this partnership and building on these foundations together,” said Jade Batstone, CEO and co-founder of Zendo Energy.

Galaxy acquired the Redhill plot in January. Located in the Foxboro Business Park in Surrey, the 7.8-acre campus totals more than 160,000 sq ft (14,865 sqm) across three buildings and offers 26MW in total. The site reportedly has a development value of £100 million ($124.9m).

The campus reportedly has 26 tenants in place, with 2MW of available capacity. Available fiber providers include Zayo, BT, Colt, Cogent, Verizon, Lumen, Virgin, and Interoute.

The company has since invested £10m ($13.6m) in upgrading the data center to support high-performance computing and AI workloads. The investment is expected to increase the capacity of the data centers by 15MW.

Part of investment firm Galaxy Capital Partners, Galaxy Data Centers is a global data center operator and advisory provider founded in 2016. Galaxy Capital describes itself as an owner, operator, and developer of enterprise data centers, strategically located across North America, Europe, and Asia.
