Attitudes to data centres have shifted over the last six months; they are increasingly seen as having an important role in delivering the energy transition. The projected growth in electricity demand resulting from the development of this sector gives renewable investors’ confidence in future demand for their generation.
However, realising this opportunity is far from straightforward. Since the start of the year, a wave of new policy and regulation has reshaped the landscape for data centre development. There is now a route forward, but key details remain unclear. For developers and large energy users, that uncertainty translates into real commercial risk: volatile wholesale costs, rising network charges, and increasing pressure to make strategic investment decisions against a fast-moving regulatory backdrop.
This is where Cornwall Insight’s consultancy can help. Our independent experts guide clients through the connection and regulatory requirements specific to data centres, and explain how SEM revenue streams are expected to evolve, so you can plan and invest with confidence.
