Scotland emerging as key growth market for data centre developers

Dan Evans, Associate Director at Lichfields, discusses the results of the company’s recent data centre study, which finds that, for developers, Scotland offers something few regions or countries can match - abundant low-carbon energy, space for expansion and a strong engineering base. The combination of renewable generation, cool climate and established technical skills creates ideal conditions for sustainable data centre operations. Dan also explains that, while Scotland meets the growing demand from investors and operators looking for sites that balance performance, cost and environmental responsibility, developers need clarity on where projects will be supported and how long approvals will take - a consistent national position, backed by local planning frameworks.

Work AI Institute delivering real-world lessons for successful AI adoption

Work AI leader Glean has launched the Work AI Institute, a first-of-its-kind research initiative - supported by faculty from Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Notre Dame, and others - dedicated to decoding what actually drives results when companies commit to operating with AI at the core of their businesses. As part of that launch, the institute has released a new report, founded by Glean and led by Stanford’s Bob Sutton and organisational psychologist Rebecca Hinds, PhD, which reveals that most failed enterprise AI pilots weren’t technology problems, but instead, coordination problems. In this interview, Rebecca discusses the report’s findings in detail, providing many great insights as to the best approaches for companies to take to ensure successful AI adoption.

Financing a sustainable, digital future

Heiko Ludwig, Global Head of Structure Finance at NORD/LB, discusses the findings of the company’s recent report, ‘Power Struggle: Meeting the challenge of financing data centres and the energy transition’, that shows Europe needs a stronger capital market to plug the global $41.7 trillion data centre and net-zero funding gap. Heiko explains how Europe’s fragmented capital market and underdeveloped ABS programmes are limiting access to the funds needed to meet soaring digital and renewable energy demand by 2030, before suggesting ways in which this finding gap can be addressed: the creation of a unified Capital Markets Union to accelerate capital deployment; development of ABS programmes to recycle capital and broaden the investor base; and greater coordination between the data centre and energy worlds to optimise grid connections, co-financing structures and to ensure grid stability.

Powering sustainable data centre growth

Rollo Maschietto, Policy Manager, Renewable Energy Association (REA), discusses the ways in which the data centre and energy sectors can work together to ensure delivery of the clean, reliable, and scalable power required to underpin the rapid expansion of the UK’s digital infrastructure. He warns that, without fast, coordinated government action, planned investment will flow to overseas markets with clearer delivery pathways. Which is why the REA has launched the Data Centre Coalition – to bring together operators, developers, energy providers and policymakers to shape the UK’s approach to powering data centre and AI growth with clean, reliable energy.

High performance infrastructure demands high density cooling

DCS talks to Paul Quigley, President of Airsys Cooling Technologies. Paul also holds the executive leadership position at Airsys Global Group overseeing Sales and Marketing. In this interview, Paul discusses the ways in which AI is re-shaping the data centre and how liquid cooling solutions are coming into their own as a result. Airsys is continuing its long history of innovation to develop the LiquidRack patented single-phase spray liquid cooling system, designed to efficiently cool AI and HPC servers by spraying dielectric fluid directly onto hot components, enabling extreme heat rejection, 100% heat recovery (as hot water), and moving data centres towards sustainable, low-carbon operations by turning waste heat into a valuable energy resource for district heating, industrial use, and more.

nLighten sets new sustainability benchmark

Francesco Marasco, VP Energy Operations and Sustainability, nLighten, explains why the European data centre provider has published the first ICFEn (Integrated Carbon-Free Energy) scores for its facilities, marking a significant milestone in data centre sustainability measurement. The innovative scoring methodology goes beyond traditional industry standards by capturing hourly carbon-free energy matching, heat recovery, and contributions to grid stability. Developed in collaboration with the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), the ICFEn framework represents a fundamental shift in how data centres measure and report their environmental impact. Unlike conventional metrics that rely on annual averages or focus solely on electricity consumption, ICFEn provides real-time transparency on how facilities contribute to decarbonisation through energy reuse and sector coupling.

£15 billion green data centre network planned for Scotland’s central belt

Mark Wilson, CEO of ILI Group, discusses the ILI Group’s plans for three new hyperscale data centres across Scotland, creating what it calls The Stoics – a £15 billion Green Digital Network spanning the central belt. The projects, named after Stoic philosophers, are located in Fife (Cato), East Ayrshire (Rufus), and North Lanarkshire (Aurelius). The Stoics will stand among the largest hyperscale data centre clusters globally - more than double the size of many of today’s biggest recognised campuses.
