Capacity Doubling

Colt said the initial phase of the campus is being developed at pace and will consist of two buildings on the first site, providing 60 MW of IT capacity. Building work commenced last year, and phase one is expected to be completed in Q3 2025.

Colt DCS has now planned an expansion and has secured a second site adjacent to its current site, which the company says is a continuation of the current development and will more than double the capacity of the London Hayes Data Centre campus. The specifications of the planned expansion stage have not been shared in the official release.

Renewable Energy Focus

Colt DCS’s official release said, “This will make the entire site one of the largest in the UK and will be Colt DCS’ largest multi-building data centre campus across its global estate. Along with the purchase of land, Colt DCS has crucially also secured power, based on renewable energy, to deliver the capacity required for the new site. Colt DCS’ expanded campus will be perfectly suited to support the growing demand for the capacity of large-scale, high-density AI workloads.”
