District heating map: where recovered heat can go
A data centre next to a heating network can sell its heat. Sherpa Atlas maps district heating networks and the data-centre waste-heat projects already reported, on the same map as data centres, substations and plants.

Questions
The district heating map: questions
What does the district heating map show?
District heating networks and data-centre waste-heat projects, next to data centres, substations and plants.
Where does the data come from?
Every record carries its sources and the date it was last checked: grid operators, regulators and governments, planning authorities, company announcements and the press. Nothing is estimated where a figure has been published; where no figure is published, the record says so.
