A certification, one of our clients could answer this question better:

- http://carbon3it.com/

My understanding of these certifications is that they are very expensive
-- it's not something that the small data centre we use could consider.

This, from ukfast is interesting:

  "the first hosting provider to offer hosted solutions powered by
  hydro-electricity"

I wonder if their data centre is directly powered by a Scottish or Welsh
dam or if they are simply *paying* for electricity from a supplier who
buys electricity from hydro generators, I suspect the latter.

All the best

Chris
