Data centers play a crucial role in the infrastructure of companies worldwide. However, operating these central nervous systems of the digital world is not only cost-intensive but also energy-intensive, and kyberio is no exception. We attach great importance to providing our services from Germany with the highest data security and protection level.

This choice of location, in particular, as electricity costs in Germany are among the highest in Europe, means that we and our customers are increasingly focusing on our data centers’ energy efficiency and sustainability. Against this backdrop, our decision to use only green electricity for our data centers from 01.01.2024 is a step towards more sustainable digitalization and a decisive advantage for our customers.

Advantages of switching to green electricity
Reduction of the CO₂ footprint: With a total annual consumption of around 4,500,000 kWh, switching to 100% certified natural electricity, especially from German wind power, enables a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions – specifically around 2,000 tons per year. This step significantly contributes to climate protection and reducing global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

Stability and planning security: When electricity prices are constantly rising and becoming increasingly volatile, the fixed electricity price until the end of 2026, which we can guarantee through our partnership with our energy supplier, offers our customers valuable planning security. This financial predictability is particularly beneficial for companies that must precisely calculate their operating costs.

Promotion of renewable energies: The decision to use green electricity also promotes renewable energy sources. Our contribution supports investment in the further development and expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind power, which in the long term contributes to energy independence and strengthens the local economy.

Positive external impact: Companies focusing on sustainability enjoy a higher reputation among customers, partners, and society. The use of green electricity in our data centers signals a sense of responsibility and a commitment to environmental protection, which positively impacts brand perception. In consultation with our suppliers, we are happy to create a corresponding certificate for our customers that can be used in communications.

Why the switch makes sense and is the right thing to do
Studies and surveys conducted by institutions such as the digital association Bitkom show that although German data centers are consuming more electricity, they are also becoming more efficient. Data center efficiency has improved significantly in recent years, partly due to the use of innovative cooling technologies and energy-efficient hardware. Switching to green power complements these efforts by ensuring that the electricity consumed is generated sustainably.

Commitment to the future
Switching to green electricity is more than just an ecological measure; it is a clear commitment to sustainability and responsibility towards future generations. By using only renewable energy sources, we are sending a strong signal against climate change and for the preservation of our planet. This step shows that technology and environmental protection can and must go hand in hand.

Cooperation with leading energy suppliers
Our decision to purchase 100% natural electricity is based on a careful selection of energy suppliers who impress with their reliability and economic stability and are committed to promoting and expanding renewable energy sources in Germany. These partnerships are essential to our sustainability strategy and enable us to guarantee our customers an environmentally friendly and reliable energy supply.

Invitation to Dialog
We understand that the transition to a more sustainable way of operating can raise questions. That’s why we invite our customers and partners to dialogue with us. Whether it’s about the technical aspects of the transition, the environmental benefits, or the financial implications, we are ready to answer any questions and work together to find the best solutions.

Summary
Our decision to switch entirely to natural electricity from 01.01.2024 is a significant step towards a more sustainable future. It reflects our commitment to environmental protection, our responsibility to our customers, and our vision for the future of digital infrastructure. By taking this step, we are offering an environmentally friendly solution and financial security and stability at a time when these values matter more than ever. We are proud to embark on this journey and invite all our stakeholders to join us.
