Positioning heata for growth

Brook Capital Increases Its Stake in Sustainable Cloud Innovator heata

Brook Capital has increased its position in heata, the pioneering sustainable cloud computing company that reuses waste heat from data processing to provide free hot water in homes. The decision to deepen its backing follows the recent success of heata's collaboration with British Gas and the growing interest in environmentally responsible computing solutions.

heata's innovative model distributes data processing workloads to specially designed servers installed in residential homes. These units are mounted on domestic hot water tanks, and the heat generated during computing is redirected into the water system. This not only reduces the energy required to heat water, typically done by gas boilers, but also lowers the household’s carbon footprint. heata covers the electricity costs for the server units, offering users a tangible financial benefit while supporting the green energy transition.

Brook Capital's expanded stake represents a strong vote of confidence in heata's vision, technology, and potential for scalable impact.

"We believe heata is poised to become a cornerstone in the future of sustainable computing. Their approach not only addresses the massive energy footprint of cloud computing but also creates a direct and immediate benefit for households."

As reliance on data processing and artificial intelligence continues to rise, heata's solution presents a compelling model for the sustainable future of compute infrastructure. Alongside other investors in the round, heata is better positioned than ever to turn waste heat into a valuable resource for communities across the UK.
