Google has announced its construction of a new UK data centre facility in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire. The 33-acre site will cost £790m to build, said the search giant, and will add to Google’s expanding cloud computing capacity in the UK. The new facility will also benefit from a power purchase agreement struck with renewable energy company ENGIE in 2022, allowing it to tap into wind power generated by the latter’s Moray West wind farm on the Scottish coast. 

Google’s investment in the new site, said its managing director for the UK & Ireland Debbie Weinstein, “is the latest in a series of investments that support Brits and the wider economy at large and is further evidence of Google’s continued commitment to the UK – a key country for our business and a pioneering world leader in AI, technology and science.”
