The delivery of the first two halls is expected in Q1 of 2019 and the remainder being delivered in Q2 2019 . On completion , the project will bring the total IT power supply to more than 40MW .
The build of the six new halls have been driven from anchor customer demand , with the first four halls already taken by an existing tenant . The new phase supports Colt DCS ’ commitment to deliver carrierneutral , super-fast connectivity to hyperscale cloud providers . The London North data centre provides multi-tenant colocation facilities , with state-of-the-art mechanical and engineering equipment supporting the operational delivery facility . Due to the efficiency on the design , the annualised design PUE of the facility is < 1.2 , being below the current industry average . The total power provision of the site itself will increase from 38MW to 68MW , that ’ s enough power to supply to 250,000 households in the UK . London North Data Centre also uses intelligent security monitoring systems and is certificated with ISAE 3402 , ISO 14001 , ISO 20071 standards .
