ICLEI's Sustainable Procurement team is involved in PrimeEnergyIT, a new European project co-funded by the European Commission.

PrimeEnergyIT is designed to further enhance market development for energy efficient central IT, such as cooling, server, storage, power management and network equipment. This will be done by developing technology background reports and integrated public procurement guidance, as well as activities supporting the development of internationally accepted standards for energy efficient central IT equipment.

The project's objectives include the demonstration and evaluation of energy efficient IT solutions, training of IT managers and experts, and annual energy savings of 70TWh in the EU by 2015.
