Data Centres

Site your data centre against the constraint that actually bites — 120 kW a rack, and air stops at 40.

UK and Ireland data-centre siting, power, cooling and water intelligence.

Seven volumes on this sector, every figure traced to a named primary source and carried at a stated verification date. We read DSIT, the Environment Agency, NESO, Ofgem and the GLA so that you do not have to. Scroll down to see what is in them.

The problem

120 kW per rack. Air-cooling stops at 40.

There is no middle path.

The root cause

Why does that decide your site? Because liquid cooling moves the problem from power to water.

Power was always the constraint. Now water is.

The turn

Seven volumes tell you which constraint kills which site.

The thermal envelope, grid headroom, the water framework, the planning route and the offtake — read from the source and dated.

Proof

Five AI Growth Zones designated. Seven regional hotspots mapped. Grid headroom now a primary site-selection input.

Every one traced back to the publication it came from, with a confidence level attached.

What you get

Check grid headroom before you shortlist a site, not after you have paid for the option.

Track the five AI Growth Zones against what has actually been consented in each one.

See which planning route a scheme is taking — CNI, grey belt or NSIP — and how long each has taken.

Read how hyperscale offtake is financing UK renewables, and what that means for your power price.

Volumes in this sector

The 7 reports in this sector cover the named UK clusters, the build-out gap, the consenting and grid-connection reality, and the supplier positioning behind it.
