The Regional Data Centre Revolution Powered by AI Demand

London still hosts the biggest concentration of UK data centre capacity, but the centre of gravity is starting to move. AI workloads are changing the infrastructure maths, pushing power, space and planning considerations up the decision list. That is exactly where regional locations start to look like the sensible option. Government data shows how concentrated the market remains: as of autumn 2024, London is estimated at 1,048MW of colocation IT load. Compare that with 44MW in the East of England, 17MW in the North East and 30MW in Scotland. The gap is huge, yet it is not a permanent advantage.

Oversight means confirming that physical safeguards, environmental systems, and compliance frameworks are in place and can be trusted.
