Industry reacts to AI Opportunities Action Plan

Following yesterday's news about the Government unveiling a new AI Opportunities Action Plan, the industry has naturally been swift to react. Here's a round-up of observations from across the sector: • Mark Yeeles, Vice President, Secure Power division, Schneider Electric UK & Ireland, says, “The UK has long held a rich history of technology leadership and innovation, and the recommendations within the Government's new AI Opportunities Action Plan present an ambitious but essential strategy to accelerate sustainable economic growth. In many respects, it is a crucial first step towards a more digitally driven future, enabled by AI. “I, for one, am delighted to see further recognition of data centres as Critical National Infrastructure, and of their pivotal role in providing the secure, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure foundations that are essential to the countries AI success. “Indeed, the proposed development of AI Growth Zones (AIGZs) presents a logical and effective way to fast-track new AI infrastructure, and to co-develop it with distributed energy resources - addressing the many power challenges that have historically hindered national developments. “What’s critical is that security, sustainability and efficiency remain at the forefront of these developments, and that we continue to create strategies to decouple AI and data centre growth from power consumption, while reducing the technologies demand on the grid. “Additionally, to meet and exceed our ambitions around AI leadership, it’s essential we tackle the skills gaps across several key areas connected to AI, including data centres and digital infrastructure, renewable power, sustainability, and engineering. “We at Schneider Electric are therefore not only glad to see the Government taking proactive steps to address the skills shortage at an industry-level by setting targets to train tens of thousands of AI professionals by 2030, but to see its plans to expand education pathways into AI and to teach higher-education students’ a host of industry-relevant skills. “Further, addressing the diversity issue at root and branch is vital to the future of the UK’s technology industry, and it’s excellent to see the acknowledgment of this within the plan.” • Dame Dawn Childs, CEO of Pure DC, comments, “Pure DC welcomes the UK Government's AI Opportunities Action Plan, which underscores the nation's commitment to advancing artificial intelligence. The establishment of AI Growth Zones, such as the one in Culham, Oxfordshire, is a significant step toward accelerating the development of essential infrastructure. “As a leading data centre provider, Pure DC recognises the importance of translating ambitious plans into tangible outcomes. The successful application and delivery of infrastructure depend on close collaboration between government, industry, and local communities. By aligning these efforts, we can create data centres that not only meet the evolving growth in capacity sought by technology firms, but also respect and actively benefit the communities they serve. “We are particularly encouraged by the plan's focus on creating jobs and fostering innovation in de-industrialised areas. This aligns with our commitment to engaging with local stakeholders to drive economic development and ensure our projects deliver long-term value for communities. “By working together, we can ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of AI and technology, creating a thriving environment for innovation and investment.” • Robin Ferris, AI Lead at digital infrastructure provider, Pulsant, observes, "It takes a long time to plan and build the digital infrastructure that supports AI technology, so the announcement of dedicated AI Growth Zones is fantastic news. But for this to really work, the plan needs to think about the different needs of AI. Training large language models (LLMs) can be more flexible with where it happens, but AI inference – the bit where we actually see AI’s real value – works better when it’s closer to major economic hubs. "Organisations have been working hard to create real-world AI applications, and we are at an inflection point where they are now coming into production, but only if the right infrastructure is available – and fast. The need is now, and while the UK has one of the most advanced digital infrastructures in the world, it has to keep pace with businesses' growing needs. That’s why including brownfield sites would be a smart move. Not only can it be more efficient, but it’s also a greener, more sustainable choice. "Having a spread-out, diverse digital infrastructure across the UK is key to making AI accessible to everyone – not just businesses in specific regions. That way, we can create an environment where innovation thrives everywhere and ideas turn into real-world impact faster." • Tom Whittaker, Director at UK law firm, Burges Salmon, says, “The AI sector will be looking forward to the Spring 2025 Spending Review and the further publications listed in the plan to see what the plan looks like in practice. The plan reflects the public sector's cautious optimism about AI.  “In fact, Government is doing more for the AI sector than what's set out in the AI Opportunities Action Plan. For example, the plan does not refer to the Government's push for public sector organisations to publish on a register where they are developing or using AI. That register shows that there is a wide range of potential uses of AI across the public sector. We can see from research and public registers of AI development and use that there is a great deal of enthusiasm across the public sector to use AI to improve public services.” • Rupert Bedell, CEO at Fasthosts, comments, “Data centres are the engines that will drive the AI Opportunities Action Plan into reality, but their development comes with significant environmental consequences. Managing their energy demands will define whether this AI plan will be a sustainable path forward. “The proposed AI Energy Council must lead in establishing robust standards for energy efficiency and renewable energy use in new data centres. Equally, upgrading existing facilities with advanced technologies and modular designs will be essential to reducing their environmental impact. Relying solely on carbon offsets will not be enough, as true sustainability requires meaningful changes to how data centres are built and maintained throughout their lifecycle. “For AI to truly benefit our society, we must address its environmental footprint head-on. Data centres have a unique opportunity to set the benchmark for how innovation and environmental responsibility can coexist.”

Global data centre demand surges despite constraints

Artificial intelligence applications are rapidly expanding across industries, and the global data centre industry plays a critical role in AI adoption and advancement. To meet the exponential data centre demand, the sector will grow at a phenomenal pace in 2025. JLL’s 2025 Global Data Center Outlook explores how AI is not only driving demand but the development of more powerful and efficient data centre infrastructure that balances computing power and sustainability. Across the hyperscale and colocation segments, an estimated 10 GW is projected to break ground globally in 2025, while 7 GW will likely reach completion. Based on this current pace of under construction and planned developments, the global data centre market will likely expand at a baseline 15% CAGR through 2027 – with the potential to reach 20%. Rapid expansion brings challenges, including demand outstripping supply and electricity development constraints in some markets. The industry also faces numerous opportunities such as the emergence of new technologies providing novel pathways for sustainability. “The pace of AI innovation is not slowing down, and the data centre industry must continue to adapt,” says Jonathan Kinsey, JLL EMEA Lead and Global Chair, Data Centre Solutions. “AI’s transformative power demands have already reshaped our world, yet its most significant and enduring effect may lie in how we rise to meet the substantial energy demands required to fuel this technological revolution. The results will fundamentally reshape data centre design and operation.” Next-generation AI requirements At the core of the AI revolution is the rapid advancement in semi-conductor technology. Over the past two years, GPUs have become substantially more powerful, leading to higher rack densities ranging from 40 kW to 130 kW per rack, with future chips projected to reach an astounding 250 kW per rack. GPU innovation presents a significant hurdle: managing the heat generated by densely packed, energy-intensive GPUs. The necessity to keep this tech cooled and load variability stable, combined with new power usage effectiveness (PUE) regulations, will shift thermal management strategies toward liquid cooling as the standard for new data centre developments. In the future, immersion cooling will become commonplace as GPUs surge past 150 kW. Most new data centres are being designed to house a combination of both AI and traditional workloads. Though a significant driver, even optimistic adoption scenarios suggest that AI will represent less than 50% of data centre demand in 2030, with traditional, lower-intensity workloads like data storage and cloud-based applications comprising most of the demand. “While not every data centre is or will be a specialised AI facility, all data centres – new and existing – can benefit from more energy efficient operations and improved technology integration,” comments Andrew Green, JLL Regional Data Center Practice Lead, Asia Pacific. “Data centre operators must contend with the demand for massive power needs while satisfying the need for more energy efficient facilities. AI is transforming data centre management through predictive maintenance applications, which optimise energy usage, lead to longer lifespans for equipment and result in less downtime.” Alternative energy solutions Forecasts suggest that global data centre energy demand could double over the next five years. While data centres consume large quantities of power, they are one component of the complex global power challenge. Furthermore, data centres are expected to represent only about 2% of global electricity consumption in 2025. A variety of other factors like increasing EV adoption, machinery electrification and rising power consumption in developing countries also contribute to growing power demand. Since data centres are often clustered together in metropolitan areas, significant bottlenecks in delivering power to new developments persist in some of the largest global data centre markets like Northern Virginia, Tokyo and London. Additionally, these clusters are unevenly distributed across the globe, resulting in some countries and regions where data centres account for a considerable proportion of total electricity demand. “Data centre developers evaluate markets based on the availability of a few key aspects, including power, land, connectivity and tax incentives,” notes Andy Cvengros, JLL Co-Lead US Data Center Markets. “Scarcity is only half of the power story; transmission is the other part. The time it takes to erect transmission lines and substations to connect new data centres to the grid can be up to four years or more in some markets. Both established and emerging markets will see higher development levels in 2025, along with more developers exploring other energy solutions like natural gas and fuel cells.” Being looked at as carbon neutral, large-scale nuclear power is emerging as a preferred alternative to traditional power, particularly for AI and high-performance computing applications. Companies worldwide are developing small modular reactors (SMRs), which, while still in the early stages, could offer a modular and scalable green energy power source at a fraction of the cost of large-scale nuclear. Though commercial deployment in the US is unlikely until 2030 for a variety of reasons detailed in the report, JLL anticipates more SMR announcements this year. Record financing for data centre development Investor appetite for data centres will remain strong through 2025 due to demand for compute power and data storage, low supply due to power scarcity, attractive returns and growing excitement around AI’s potential. JLL anticipates data centre development financing will have another record year in 2025, while global data centre trading volume is likely to moderately increase in 2025. “Data centre activity has exploded over the last few years, with much of the demand geared toward single-tenant ground-up construction,” states Carl Beardsley, US Data Center Leader, JLL Capital Markets. “Significant barriers to entry exist for new investors based on the amount of capital required as well as a longer development cycle. In 2025, we expect many opportunities for core investors to recapitalise the single-tenant data centres that continue to be built.” M&A investment volume and megamergers will likely slow, but JLL expects an increase in joint ventures in 2025, particularly in developing countries as industry firms partner with regional groups to help navigate the local political, regulatory and business landscapes. Despite challenges, including supply constraints and electricity limitations in some markets, the outlook for the data centre sector remains highly favourable, JLL states. It says that the industry is poised for continued growth, driven by AI adoption, increased data processing demands and ongoing technological advancements. JLL’s team of dedicated technical experts are trained and experienced in every phase of the data centre lifecycle to help its customers scale, optimise and maintain efficiencies in their data centre strategies.

Durham University's data centre approved

Plans to build a cutting-edge data centre at the Aykley Heads business park in Durham have been given the green light, marking a significant step for Durham University and the region's technology ambitions. The facility, set to house a super-computer, data hall, and office spaces, will form a key part of the ongoing development aimed at attracting data-intensive businesses. While the university touts the project as a catalyst for job creation and economic growth, concerns have been raised by local groups over the potential job losses compared to original plans for the site. Approved by Durham County Council's planning committee on Friday (10 January 2025), the data centre project represents Durham University’s commitment to bolstering its research capabilities and contributing to the regional economy. The university anticipates the facility will act as a magnet for businesses, attract highly skilled workers, and provide valuable training opportunities for local talent. However, the approval hasn't come without reservation. The City of Durham Trust and the City of Durham Parish Council have both expressed disappointment, believing the data centre’s development deviates from the original vision of the business park. The 2021 masterplan for Aykley Heads had envisioned Plot D, the site of the approved data centre, as office space potentially capable of generating hundreds of jobs. Michael Hurlow of the City of Durham Trust criticises the current proposal, stating that "it failed to deliver on the promise of a high-quality business park”, and noting that it falls below the standards expected for the area. He argues that the alternative data centre plans undermine the potential for widespread job creation anticipated with office space. The City of Durham Parish Council further emphasises the stark contrast in employment figures, as estimates suggest a data centre would bring in only seven to 15 jobs, a significant drop compared to the projected 200 to 300 jobs associated with office development. Despite these concerns, a county council spokesman acknowledged the considerable difference in job numbers but maintained that both data centre and office development were consistent with the overall masterplan for the business park. They argued that the potential loss of jobs was not a sufficient reason to deny permission for the current proposal. A Durham University spokeswoman sought to alleviate the concerns, emphasising that the broader development that the data centre is a part of would ultimately generate new employment opportunities, attract businesses to the region, and equip local workers with in-demand digital skills. The University believes the long-term benefits of the data centre for the region will outweigh the immediate job discrepancy. While the approval of the data centre represents a significant step forward for Durham’s technological infrastructure, it has also sparked a debate about the balancing act between innovation and job creation. The situation highlights the complex considerations involved in development planning and the varied perspectives of stakeholders. As the data centre project progresses, close attention will be paid to its impact on the local economy and the fulfillment of promises regarding long-term regional benefits.

This collaboration enables the high-capacity and energy-efficient solutions that hyperscalers require using Micron G9 QLC NAND for future DirectFlash Module products. The joint effort continues a decade-long initiative of integrating Micron’s latest NAND technology with Pure Storage products, which spans seven generations and includes the Micron G8 QLC NAND qualified for production in Pure Storage’s 150TB DirectFlash Module. Combined with Pure Storage’s advanced data storage platform, the solution delivers a data storage offering with massive drive capacities, high performance, and low latency - while driving architectural simplification and delivering significant energy efficiency improvements. In modern data centres, three critical concerns factor into every storage system - energy efficiency, storage density, and performance. Data centres consume tremendous amounts of power, which is why energy-efficient solutions are critical to managing both operational expenses and the impact on the environment. Additionally, as data centres grow, they remain space-constrained, making every square foot valuable. Operators are continuously challenged to fit more storage into less space. Meanwhile, storage performance is even more important as a competitive advantage because consumers of data centre services expect faster data processing, as the rush to turn data into insights accelerates. Pure Storage and Micron are collaborating to deliver a winning total cost of ownership option versus legacy hard drive-based storage offerings for hyperscalers. The collaboration provides the following benefits: • Improved performance, lower latency: The combination of Pure Storage’s data storage platform with Micron’s advanced NAND technology with strong transfer rates provides ultrafast, low-latency, and reliable services for massive, data-intensive workloads.• Sustainability: This joint solution dramatically reduces the energy consumption over traditional storage options, lowering operating costs and reducing the environmental footprint.• Rack-dense, scalable options: By integrating Micron’s NAND that offers areal density (bits per square millimetre), Pure Storage can deliver highly scalable systems at a reduced total cost of acquisition and ownership.“Pure Storage’s collaboration with Micron is another example of our significant momentum bringing the benefits of all-flash storage technology to hyperscale environments,” says Bill Cerreta, General Manager, Hyperscale, Pure Storage. “With Micron’s advanced NAND technology, Pure Storage can further optimise storage scalability, performance, and energy efficiency for an industry with unparalleled requirements.” “Micron’s advanced NAND technologies, combined with Pure’s innovative storage solutions, enable data centre operators to address the increasing performance, efficiency, and scalability needs for today’s hyperscale data centres,” adds Jeremy Werner, SVP & GM, Storage Business Unit, Micron. “Built on trust and thriving on innovation, our collaboration with Pure Storage consistently offers cutting-edge storage solutions for hyperscale and enterprise environments.” For more from Pure Storage, click here.
