EVOBITS IT
For instance , the company intends to install solar panels with battery storage systems , which will aim to help it achieve energy independence during the summer months . The battery systems will employ chemistry designed for over 10-year operational lifespans , enabling electricity use from storage during periods of high grid price . This builds on existing efficiency measures that EvoBits IT has in place , including its optimised power infrastructure sizing to reduce transmission and conversion losses .
In the long-term , EvoBits IT is hoping that its investments into infrastructure will put the company at an advantage , particularly given rising energy prices across Europe in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic .
The company has plans to further expand in Romania and establish facilities in the western region and Bucharest to create what Silviu calls a “ triangle ” of certified data centres .
“ We are doing this for environmental reasons , but also because we look at the next five years rather than just the next quarter ,” Silviu explains . “ Being a private company , we focus on longterm viability and being sustainable is ultimately also more profitable .”
