Vertiv will supply a turnkey solution that will save energy in other spaces of the Telefónica exchange. Websites in Spain.
This agreement is an extension of the collaboration established in 2018, which began as a pilot task to reduce the energy consumption of one of the most vital plants in Telefónica’s network in Madrid. According to Telefónica, this initiative has been a success, resulting in an average 20% reduction in total energy consumption. As part of Phase I of the agreement, the collaboration will be expanded to cover 40 of Telefónica’s most critical network hubs located in Spain.
The agreement between Vertiv and Telefonica includes a state-of-the-art style called Energy Savings as a Service (ESaaS), which requires an experienced generation production partner to invest, operate and maintain critical infrastructure.

Vertiv is committed to introducing synthetic intelligence (AI) to monitor knowledge and devices. so that you can be warned of possible outages. As a result, the generation life cycle can be extended and the electrical power of Telefónica’s network can be increased.
Pablo Ledesma, Director of Engineering and Operation of Networks, Services and IT at Telefónica Spain, says: “This assignment has many challenges, one of them is to ensure specialized maintenance of the infrastructure. It also brings many benefits, allowing us to have the Generation of maximum complexity to enable the deployment of cloud and edge installations. As part of the assignment, we also need to improve the air conditioning systems at all the technical telecommunications sites that supply Telefónica’s facilities to our customers, such as fiber or cellular networks, in order to achieve maximum energy savings.
Karsten Winther, President of Vertiv in Europe, Middle East and Africa, says: “In addition to the benefits of reducing the carbon footprint, this style also has a positive monetary impact. Telefonica plans to reduce its energy prices and carbon footprint by committing Vertiv to focus on optimization and allowing Telefonica to invest 100 percent of its resources in its core business.

“Vertiv is an experienced and experienced partner who knows our infrastructure very well, making it the ideal company to adopt this cutting-edge project,” says Enrique Blanco, Global CTIO at Telefonica. “This initiative will help us achieve our energy and emissions targets: our energy capacity with the purpose of reducing energy consumption consistently with the unit traffic indicator (MWh/PB) by 90% by 2025, reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025. 90% by 2030, and being a net-zero company by 2040 across the entire price chain. We are aware that the most productive kilowatt is the one we do not consume. We don’t need to prevent that, and that’s why we’re going to expand this successful project to as many places as possible.
“This pioneering design has been effectively implemented in collaboration with Telefonica and can be replicated in other locations and countries so that other organizations can take advantage of increased power and load savings. This puts Vertiv in an excellent position to help companies reduce their energy consumption by offering critical infrastructure, technology and experienced talent. “
