London has 400 GW of grid requests for datacenter builds
Briefly

The UK government is striving to accelerate datacenter construction amidst a backdrop of enormous outstanding requests for power grid connections, with predictions that 60-70% will not materialize. A report from Cushman & Wakefield identifies limitations such as limited land availability and stringent sustainability regulations, complicating development efforts. However, the EMEA region shows promise, particularly in key markets like Frankfurt and London, with a robust pipeline of projects anticipated to grow capacity significantly over the coming years despite these challenges.
While regulators note that a significant percentage of datacenter requests for power connection will not materialize, the UK government is pushing for rapid datacenter expansion.
Despite the obstacles of power constraints and sustainability regulations, datacenter construction in key EMEA markets is projected to grow, particularly in FLAPD.
