One of our major tech debt remediation projects is removing our IT infrastructure from the leased eFORT Data Center by January 2025. We have made tremendous progress in that work, evident in our reduced footprint. But there’s more!
We track energy usage through kWh (kilowatt hours) expended at the eFORT Data Center. And we have some great news! Our energy consumption has decreased as our footprint at eFORT continues to shrink. November 2023 marked the first time we have used less than 200,000 kWh monthly at eFORT! In December 2023, our energy consumption was even lower at 180,146 kWh. We will continue to save thousands of kWh of electricity each month as we work to move out of eFORT by early 2025. You can monitor our monthly energy consumption via the graph below, which can be viewed in detail by clicking this link.
Saving energy is always a good idea. Decreasing our electricity usage reduces air and water pollution and helps the planet. This project (and eliminating technical debt) is a win for all Coloradans!
