Ebbsfleet AI Data Centre Campus 300MW Kent

Status: Announced / In Planning (NSIP DCO Process)   |   Location: C8CG+4XH Gravesend, United Kingdom

Project Overview

The Ebbsfleet AI Data Centre Campus is a 300 MW digital infrastructure development located along New Barn Road in Southfleet, near Ebbsfleet Valley in Kent, United Kingdom. Developed by UK-based Clearstone Energy, the project spans 145 acres (58 hectares), including a dedicated 90-acre (36-hectare) area for data center structures with a stated building footprint of 60,000 m². Designed specifically for next-generation artificial intelligence workloads, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud infrastructure, the campus is positioned to serve growing demand for advanced computing capacity across London and the South East. Its scale and specialized focus reflect the increasing need for infrastructure capable of supporting demanding AI applications and large-scale data processing.

The planned 300 MW capacity places the development among the major power-intensive data center projects in the UK market. AI and HPC workloads require substantial computing resources, often involving powerful processors and high-density server deployments. Facilities built for these applications must accommodate significant power and cooling requirements while supporting reliable operations. The campus’s dedicated development area provides space for data center buildings and associated infrastructure, although specific IT load, cooling systems, and power sourcing arrangements have not been provided.

The project’s location in Kent places it within reach of London, one of the UK’s most important markets for cloud services, financial technology, enterprise computing, and digital business. Infrastructure in this area can support organizations seeking computing capacity to run AI applications, cloud platforms, and other data-intensive services. The campus also reflects the growing geographic footprint of UK data center development as operators seek sites capable of accommodating large-scale infrastructure. By combining a 145-acre site, a planned 300 MW capacity, and a focus on AI, HPC, and cloud workloads, the Ebbsfleet AI Data Centre Campus represents a substantial addition to the UK’s digital infrastructure pipeline and is positioned to support the evolving computing needs of London and the South East.
