ENERGY AND DATA CENTERES
Energy
Toddington Park is well placed to support the government’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050 by delivering solar energy generation and battery energy storage on site.
The move to renewable sources of energy will help to support economic growth by promoting green jobs and technology. Using renewable sources to support our power needs will improve the UK’s energy security and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels which are often affected by global instability.
This new renewable energy infrastructure will help to power the increased eHGV parking provision at Toddington Southbound Services to align with the transport industry’s continued push for reducing carbon emissions.
Data centres
The government has identified data centres as critical national infrastructure and it has forecast that the UK will need at least 6 gigawatts (GW) of data centre capacity by 2030 which is capable of processing the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI).
The UK’s current capacity stands at approximately 1.6 GW and Toddington Park has been identified as a highly suitable location to accommodate this help meet this need owing to its power infrastructure and distance from the existing data centre ecosystems in the country.
Data centres play a vital role in providing the necessary capacity for us to do the everyday activities we rely on, from banking transactions and streaming to critical communications and AI.
Toddington Park has been identified as a highly suitable location to accommodate new data centres owing to its power infrastructure and distance from the existing data centre ecosystems in the country.
Our intention is to use air-cooling technology here to reduce over-reliance on water supply for cooling the new data centres.
