How will the new EU regulation on Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) measurement for Data Centres affect your business?
Starting 1 January 2025, data centres in Europe will need to measure and report their Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) as part of the updated Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). PUE is a metric used to gauge the energy efficiency of a data centre by dividing the total energy consumption of the data centre by the energy consumed by the IT equipment alone. This regulation aims to boost energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Schleifenbauer Products BV is ready to support data centres in meeting these requirements. Our intelligent PDUs, equipped with advanced energy measurement capabilities, will assist clients in accurately tracking and reporting their PUE, ensuring compliance and optimising energy use. Additionally, for those with non-intelligent PDUs, our innovative Inline Meter can transform any basic PDU into a smart, measurable unit. By placing the Inline Meter between your power source and existing PDU, you not only meet the legal requirements but also gain detailed insights into your energy usage, helping to optimise your energy management. We’re committed to helping our clients navigate this transition efficiently.
