In July 2025, UK secretary of state for science, innovation and technology Peter Kyle said: “We forecast that the UK will need at least 6GW of AI [artificial intelligence]-capable datacentre capacity by 2030.” As things stand, that target will likely not be met, with UK datacentre capacity on course to total 4.9GW by 2030 given the current planning status of many projects.

That figure – 4.9GW by 2030 –…
