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.

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.
