The site
The outline is the boundary the promoter published. It can include cable, pipeline or road routes as well as the main site. 128 hectares inside the published boundary.
What is proposed
The overall scheme comprises a data centre campus of up to three units (including server halls and cooling infrastructure, designed for an IT load of up to c.300MW across the three buildings (c.100 MW each), together with an integrated on-site energy generation centre and associated development. The energy centre will generate electricity from gas to provide resilient and reliable power supply to the data centre campus, mitigating pressure on local infrastructure and enabling the demand for data centre development to be met efficiently. It will demonstrate a viable pathway to become decarbonisation-ready. The gas connection to the energy centre is up to c.900 megawatts and, depending on the technology adopted, the maximum generating capacity of the energy centre is approximately 250-350 megawatts.
