What is established
Announced. 90 MW announced (critical it load); 23,040 accelerators (NVIDIA GB300); expected Mar 2027; owned or developed by Nscale.
What is not disclosed
Project capex, named tenant, power source, cooling technology — not disclosed by any source on this page. Recorded as unknown, never as zero.
Analyst note
Billed as the UK's largest AI supercomputer when live, serving Microsoft Azure. 90 MW is the scalable ceiling (50 MW initial). GPU count is the announced initial deployment for Q1 2027. Part of Nscale's ~200,000-GB300 Microsoft contract across Europe and the US.
Corroborated by more than one source, but not yet backed by physical evidence.
Power readiness
Capacity basis stated
The source distinguishes IT load from total site power or on-site generation.
Derived from the evidence on this page by a published rule, not a model. How this is calculated.
