The internet consumes a lot of electricity. 1021 TWh per year to be exact and to put that into perspective, that's more than the entire United Kingdom (Source: Website Carbon).
From data centres to transmission networks to the billions of connected devices that we hold in our hands, it is all consuming electricity, and in turn producing carbon emissions.
It is a fast-growing industry, but slow to change as most of the power is still generated from fossil fuels.
Koboh is committed to provide amazing web hosting with industry-leading technology that's better for everyone and the planet.
We partner with providers who are powered by 100% renewable electricity from the sun, wind and sea. It means there are no shady carbon offsetting, just a direct relationship between their UK data centre and Ecotricity to power their facilities with energy generated by 100% renewable sources. As we've expanded into additional facilities around the world we made sure they were entirely by renewable energy too.
All of the provider data centres we partner with have achieved a PUE rating of 1.2 or less.
PUE stands for Power Usage Effectiveness and is the ratio of the total amount of energy used by a data centre to the energy delivered to computing equipment. The closer to 1 the better.
A new flagship UK data centre recently opened has a PUE of just 1.05, meaning that for every watt of energy spent only 5% is used on building infrastructure like power and cooling, with the rest reaching the servers.
If the UK is to reach its commitment of net-zero emissions and end it its contribution to global warming by 2050, UK business must play their part.
We're no exception.
It is going to take everyone working together to make a better world and future, and that's why we're proud of the providers and partners we work with and their commitments with various sustainable initiatives.
As Koboh grows we too will find ways to work with green and sustainable initiatives.
Just because we prioritise sustainability doesn't mean we have mediocre hosting.
