Deep Green

What Deep Green does

Deep Green Technologies Limited, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Manchester, UK, operates modular AI-ready colocation data centres that capture and reuse waste heat from high-density compute workloads. Its flagship facility, DG01 Manchester (Urmston), went live in 2026 at 400kW total capacity across 13 racks supporting up to 150kW per rack, using closed-loop liquid cooling to achieve a PUE below 1.2 while donating captured heat to warm Move Urmston Leisure Centre's swimming pool. The company targets enterprise and mid-market clients requiring AI inference, GPU clusters, and high-performance computing capacity, offering deployment in approximately four weeks versus the industry standard of 12+ months.

The core technology combines direct liquid cooling, waterless closed-loop systems, and proprietary heat capture architecture that recovers up to 95% of compute heat for redistribution to adjacent district heating networks and community heat partners. Its product roadmap includes DG02 North London (4.9MW in development), Bradford Edge (5.6MW with planning permission secured in May 2026 for integration with the Bradford Energy Network developed by 1Energy), and a previously proposed 20+MW facility in Lansing, Michigan that was withdrawn in April 2026 ahead of the City Council vote. Deep Green also bundles social impact programmes — Community Hours, Deeper Green Carbon Removal, Swim Hours, and STEM Education — funded through client hosting to support ESG narratives for enterprise customers.

Deep Green's revenue model is enterprise colocation: clients rent rack space, power, and cooling on multi-year subscription contracts, with custom quote-based pricing disclosed only after direct sales engagement. The company is backed by Octopus Energy Generation, which invested £200 million in December 2023 (with the company's website referencing a £500 million investment commitment), and operates with a 1–10 person team supported by inside and field sales motions targeting UK enterprises, UK universities, public sector bodies, and heat host organisations. Distribution is entirely direct — no self-service, marketplace, or reseller channel — and the company's growth thesis is tied to scaling a 300MW pipeline across the UK, Europe, and North America.

Revenue model

1. HPC / AI Colocation Hosting: Deep Green generates revenue primarily by providing colocation hosting services to enterprise clients needing high-density AI and HPC compute capacity. Clients rent rack space in Deep Green's data centres and pay usage-based or subscription fees for power, cooling, and housing their servers. The company offers flexible deployment with scalable capacity, targeting enterprises running GPU clusters, AI inference, and data-intensive workloads.
2. Heat as a Service / Heat Partner Agreements: Deep Green supplies captured waste heat free of charge to heat partner organizations (district heating networks, leisure centres, public buildings, residential networks) in exchange for cooled water returned to the data centre, creating a circular cooling loop that reduces operating costs and improves PUE. This is a cost-reduction mechanism rather than a direct revenue stream, as the heat value is exchanged for cooling efficiency.

Core offering

Deep Green operates a portfolio of modular, AI-ready colocation data centres built with closed-loop liquid cooling that captures up to 95% of server heat and donates it free to adjacent community heat partners such as leisure centres and district heating networks. Clients rent high-density rack capacity (up to 150kW per rack) and pay for power, cooling, and housing on multi-year contracts, while the company monetises the cooling efficiency gained from heat reuse and offers ESG/Scope 4 reporting aligned with EU taxonomy standards.

Product overview

Deep Green operates a portfolio of modular, AI-ready colocation data centres that deploy at the edge, adjacent to heat partners (such as leisure centres, residential buildings, and district heating networks). The core offering consists of live and in-development facilities — DG01 Manchester (live, 400kW), DG02 North London (4.9MW, in development), Bradford Edge (5.6MW, planning-approved), and the withdrawn DG01 Lansing proposal (20+MW). These are supported by a suite of sustainability impact modules including Community Hours, Deeper Green Carbon Removal, STEM Education, and Swim Hours — all funded through client hosting at Deep Green's facilities. Deep Green's differentiating model is heat reuse: captured server heat is donated free to local communities, dramatically reducing operating costs (PUE below 1.2) and providing clients with reportable Scope 4 emissions reductions and a compelling ESG narrative. Clients deploy high-density GPU clusters (up to 150kW per rack) in four weeks, significantly faster than the industry standard of 12+ months.
