The UK government seeks to position the country as an AI superpower by enhancing the adoption of AI technologies across sectors. This ambition includes a significant increase in the UK's sovereign compute capacity, with a goal of 20-fold expansion by 2030. AI Growth Zones will be established as specialized sites to support AI-enabled datacentres. These zones will feature enhanced power access and fast-tracked planning permissions to expedite the deployment of essential infrastructure, particularly in de-industrialized areas suited for redevelopment.
AI Growth Zones are designated sites that are well-suited to housing AI-enabled datacentres and their supporting infrastructure, requiring enhanced access to power supplies of at least 500MW.
The government has committed to expand the UK's sovereign compute capacity by at least 20-fold by 2030 as part of its mission to supercharge the economy through AI.
