Microsoft drops Nscale UK AI data center as grid power may not arrive until 2030s

Microsoft has abandoned Nscale's AI data center project at Loughton in Essex, England. Local grid operator UK Power Networks told Nscale the site may not have sufficient power capacity until the early-to-mid 2030s, while the project had been planned to deploy 23,040 Nvidia chips by early 2027, providing 50MW of compute for Azure. Nscale has cleared the site and is seeking alternative power supply, and said its other Microsoft contracts are unaffected.
