H5 Data Centers Installs Solar Array at Denver Data Center Campus

The 478-kW Solar System Will Generate about 23 Million Kilowatt Hours of Renewable Power

Denver, CO – November 28, 2017

H5 Data Centers, a national colocation and wholesale data center provider, today announced the installation of a solar array at its Denver data center campus. The photovoltaic system will be completed by the end of November and capable of delivering up to 478 kWs of renewable power to its data center customers. Over the life of the system, approximately 23 million kilowatt hours of energy will be generated, or enough to power nearly 2,650 homes in Colorado for a year. As part of H5’s commitment to sustainability, it has invested over $10 million in energy efficiency improvements at its Denver data center campus.

“H5 Data Centers continues to make investments across our national footprint to improve the reliability and efficiency of our data centers,” said Josh Simms, founder and CEO of H5 Data Centers. “We are committed to providing reliable, long-term data center solutions for our customers. Not only will our customers realize a much higher percentage of solar power in their energy mix, but also we expect overall power costs at the Denver data center to be more economical in the future.”

In 2016, H5 Data Centers was the recipient of Xcel Energy’s Data Center Efficiency Award. Xcel Energy recognized H5’s sustainability leadership through its commitment to energy efficiency and investment in data center infrastructure improvements.

“H5 Data Centers is a clear leader in their sector,” said Alan Russo, senior vice president of sales and marketing at REC Solar. “Their top-notch data centers and robust service offerings are complimented by their continued investment in future sustainability. We are thrilled to be working with them and look forward to the system generating power soon.”
