Mind the gap!

Alex Stoewer, CEO of Greenlight Data Centers, outlinees the data centre challenge as AI adoption is moving faster than infrastructure build out. Greenlight builds for the real world, one where extreme weather is normal, grid instability is rising and every hour of downtime costs millions. Alex discusses how Greenlight shortens build timelines through early utility partnerships, de-risks projects with local stakeholder engagement and future-proofs facilities against the kinds of failures that have shut down hyperscalers in recent years.

Capacity demand increases despite ‘more cautious’ construction environment

Lucy Darling, a partner at Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB UK), discusses the findings of the organisation’s recent Construction Market Intelligence Q3 2025 report, which finds that power constraints in London have prompted increased data centre investment in other regions, including Greater Manchester, Newcastle, Wales and Scotland. Lucy also outlines some of the other challenges facing the data centre sector, including tariffs introduced during Trump’s presidency, combined with environmental regulations, contractor insolvencies and longer lead times for key equipment -all creating a more cautious construction environment.

Fibre overlooked in UK infrastructure planning

Lee Myall, CEO of Neos Networks, outlines how, over the past decade, there’s been a huge amount of investment in last-mile fibre builds, but core fibre networks across the country have received much less attention. Without them, workloads cannot move between data centres, data cannot be trained, and investments stall. The UK has the ambition, the demand and the regional readiness to lead in AI, but, as Lee explains, if we don’t address fibre gaps, we risk losing out on one of the greatest economic opportunities of our generation.
