"The UK has about 1.59GW of currently installed datacentre capacity at just under 190 sites. If we add existing capacity to that which is planned to complete by 2030 and which has planning consent, we get 4.9GW."
"Total pipeline, however, including projects that don't yet have planning consent, is 8.1GW. The total of unapproved projects planned to complete by 2030 is 6.2GW."
"According to the data, the UK will need at least 6GW of AI-capable datacentre capacity by 2030. As things stand, that target will likely not be met."
The UK aims for 6GW of AI-capable datacentre capacity by 2030, but current projections indicate only 4.9GW will be reached. Presently, the UK has approximately 1.6GW of datacentre capacity. The 4.9GW figure is based on projects with planning approval. The total pipeline, including unapproved projects, is 8.1GW, with 6.2GW of unapproved projects planned for completion by 2030. Achieving the 6GW target will require timely approval of numerous planning applications.
