Approval has been granted for the construction of a significant datacenter in Hertfordshire, which is anticipated to become the largest cloud and AI facility in Europe, covering up to two million square feet. The application was submitted by DC01 UK Ltd, with the local authority's approval paving the way for operations to potentially begin by 2030. The identity of the ultimate occupier, likely a hyperscale operator, remains undisclosed, with active discussions ongoing to finalize a buyer.
The approved mega datacenter in Hertfordshire is poised to become Europe's largest cloud and AI facility, spanning up to two million square feet.
DC01 UK Ltd, which will not operate the site, aims to secure planning rights and facilitate construction for a currently undisclosed hyperscaler.
Despite the approval, DC01 UK has yet to finalize a buyer for the datacenter, indicating ongoing discussions with multiple interested hyperscale operators.
Operational by 2030, the facility will benefit from its proximity to London and major roadways, enhancing its attractiveness to potential occupiers.
