UK council launches heat network feasibility study for proposed data centers near Didcot Power Station in Oxfordshire

A local authority in Oxfordshire has commissioned a feasibility study to explore district heating powered by planned data centres near Didcot Power Station. The research will be conducted by Nordic Energy, examining how excess thermal output can be channelled into local energy grids. Findings from the investigation are scheduled for release in March next year.

Reliability standards for AI data centers, crypto miners move closer to adoption

Draft grid reliability regulations aimed at large computational facilities, including artificial intelligence data centres and cryptocurrency operations, have advanced towards final approval. The provisions would target installations consuming at least 50 megawatts and connecting at voltages of 100 kilovolts or above. The framework still requires formal clearance from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation board and federal authorities.
