- Power
- The council application papers state floor area only and contain no power figure. The operator and its adviser describe a "40MW data centre" in press releases issued at acquisition and at approval, but none of them states whether that is IT load, grid connection capacity or total electrical demand, so it is not recorded as capacity and is excluded from every total.
