What a good idea.  And build new data centres beside wind farms.

 

Data centre in the shed reduces energy bills to £40

Good idea, assuming the data centre owner pays the electricity it uses (so has it's own supply and meter?)  and the host just gets the free "waste" heat.

the electricity that's generating that heat is paid for by somebody else".

 

ie not the homeowner.

 

it seems from the flag that the King is visiting.

Not such a new idea then. This is from 2 years ago.

 

I researched seriously, a few years ago, into capturing waste heat from chill-stores, as we were building a few. Standing close, it is amazing how much energy is being pumped away. None of the installing companies knew / were interested at all.

I would worry about what sort of 'data' is being moved around.

What you need next door is a company that needs low temperature process, so a commercial laundry, or drying facilities like grain drying.
