Plans for One of UK's Biggest Green AI Data Centres in Ravenscraig Revealed

  • Apatura proposed in 2025 to develop a £3.9 billion green AI data centre on 160 acres at the former Ravenscraig steelworks site near Glasgow.
  • The project follows Ravenscraig’s closure in 1992 and aims to regenerate the site with support from North Lanarkshire Council and an AI Growth Zone bid under government review.
  • The centre will use 550 megawatts of secured grid connections, renewable energy from constrained wind and solar, and is expected to create around 2,400 jobs locally.
  • Russell Wilkie characterized the initiative as a foundation for advancing the nation by integrating energy, digital infrastructure, and regional innovation, while an independent analysis predicts it will increase Scotland's GDP by 0.4%.
  • The development symbolizes rebuilding prosperity and sustainable industry in Scotland, signaling Ravenscraig’s role as a future-ready green AI hub powering economic and social benefits locally and nationally.
