DC01 UK has submitted plans for a massive data center campus near London's M25 motorway, potentially worth billions. While the exact customer remains 'commercially sensitive', it's expected to be a major hyperscaler.
'Commercially sensitive' incognito buyer has a lot more support than last group that tried to build a bit barn near M25 One of Europe's largest datacenter campuses is scheduled to be built in the UK close to the M25 motorway in Hertfordshire, permission pending, with a yet to be identified hyperscale customer set to take ownership.
We tried asking around the"known hyperscalers", but none is willing to put their hand up to this project at the moment. AWS told us that it does not comment on individual datacenter plans, and Microsoft and Google both likewise declined to confirm or deny. Meta had not responded at the time of publication.
The spokesperson told us the company is a joint venture between the Griggs Group and Chiltern Green Energy Ltd, both of which are"experienced in bringing together the key components for the development of sites such as this." But datacenter sites are not always guaranteed a planning pass, regardless of any benefits they may offer or however essential they might be to the modern world.
