Yondr Group, a developer, owner operator and service provider of data centres plans to develop the largest data centre campus located in Slough- which is located in the UK.
The initial phase will see the development of a 30MW facility, which is expected to be ready for service by the first quarter of 2023. The data centre campus will have a total capacity of 100MW when fully developed, Yondr said in a statement. Located on the outskirts of London, Slough, a major data centre hub for the United Kingdom, represents a key strategic site in the company’s rapidly growing portfolio of global data centres.
“The M4 Corridor connects London to the heart of Britain and is home to some of the world’s leading organisations. Being located in Slough will allow us to serve our clients in the most sought after metro in the United Kingdom,” said Paul Hood, Managing Director of Operations, EMEA at Yondr Group. “We are excited to bolster our growing global presence with the addition of Slough, while continuing to transform the data centre industry.”
This development also follows Yondr’s recent $2 billion investment announcement to expand operations into the Americas, with the acquisition of 270 acres of prime real estate in Northern Virginia and a $1 billion joint venture partnership with the Everstone Group to develop and operate data centres in India.
Yondr has taken a unique and creative approach to ensure it is able to meet the future power demands of its data centres. With a close partnership with the local municipality and energy infrastructure partners, Yondr is able to deliver power and capacity at scale, solving a known constraint in this metro.
The company has also made several biodiversity and community development commitments, which include working with the wildlife Trust and supporting STEM UK Learning’s ENTHUSE programme by partnering with local schools.
