Google Saint-Ghislain - DC6, identified by sitecode GBL6, is a key component of the Google Saint-Ghislain Campus located in Saint-Ghislain, Belgium. This facility is a testament to technological innovation and sustainability, employing advanced cooling methods such as using chilled water from an industrial canal to regulate server temperatures. Power generation is augmented by an on-site solar farm, contributing to the data center's climate-friendly operational profile. Since 2007, Google has invested over €5 billion in Belgium for data centers and related infrastructure. Notably, this campus features the first battery-based system in Belgium to replace traditional generators at a hyperscale data center, enabling a shift to carbon-free energy hours and demonstrating an alternative backup power model. In 2022, Google achieved an 82% carbon-free energy score for its Belgian operations. The St. Ghislain campus also marks significant milestones, including the opening of Google's first data center outside the U.S. in 2010 and subsequent expansions. Furthermore, Google collaborated to launch a Data Centre program for facilities maintenance, addressing the industry's need for skilled personnel.
