The Greenest Grid in Britain.
And We Go Further.
Location matters. Scotland's electricity grid is already the cleanest in Britain, up to 700% lower carbon than other UK regions. By adding our own 1GW+ of directly connected renewables, we're building data centres with a carbon footprint that's unmatchable anywhere else in the UK.
Scotland's cooler climate means free air cooling for most of the year, reducing energy use and costs.
