The SCOPE: Powering the UK¡¯s data centres¡ªthe need for new ideas
May 16, 2025
With grid capacity constraints causing delays, what solutions¡ªfrom nuclear to renewables¡ªcould help get data centres up and running?
The SCOPE is a podcast addressing important issues influencing the sustainable future of real estate, infrastructure, the environment, and communities.
In this episode of our three-part series on data centres, we discuss their changing power needs and the likely impact of grid connection reforms and complementary solutions such as nuclear energy on the sector.
Our guests are Amy Turner, new connections lead at SEGRO, Jon Clarke, associate at construction consultancy RLB, Peter Sibley, divisional director for nuclear at Â鶹´«Ã½, and Jesal Chandi, senior utilities consultant at Â鶹´«Ã½. They share the drivers behind data centres¡¯ power strategies, how they see the power landscape evolving, and new ideas for delivering these mission critical facilities.
