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. With the ambition of more than 1GW of renewable generation, we're building some of the lowest carbon data centres in the UK.
Scotland's cooler climate means free air cooling for most of the year, reducing energy use and costs.
