Digital Realty Woking data centre
Digital Realty (UK) Limited
Digital Realty (UK) Limited operates a data centre at Kestrel Way on the Goldsworth Park Trading Estate in Woking under Environment Agency permit EPR/TP3530DV, issued on 27 February 2018. The permit decision document records 65 diesel-fuelled standby generators with an aggregated combustion capacity of 214 MW thermal. That is a heat input figure for backup plant and is not the site's IT load or grid connection, so no electrical capacity is recorded for this site.
