Collaboration, connection times and capacity the key to delivering future data centre resilience

Pete Aston, Specialist Connections Engineer at Roadnight Taylor, discusses the findings of a new report Powering Great Britain’s Data Centre Ambitions, explaining how data centre developers are facing mounting grid connection challenges that can derail even the most promising projects. The interplay between technical, regulatory and commercial complexities in grid connections creates challenges that most developers underestimate until they’re deep into the process. Pete is confident that, with the right planning and collaboration in place, there is enough grid capacity to meet the data centre industry’s predicted increased power demands into the future.
