Congratulations to our 2021 category winner: Edge Centre's EC1 Grafton: The Sustainable Edge!

The Grafton, New South Wales, facility is Edge Centre's test case regional data center. The greenfield site chosen has never been connected to a utility grid and possible delays in the approval process for connection meant that the facility is run on 100% solar power - around 21 GWh per year. This has been achieved through innovation in solar panel deployment via solar clipping technology which limits the feed into each inverter and limits reliance on backup battery power.
