Grid-gated UK compute vs US co-location strategy
NinaDSchick · x · 2026-08-28
Nina Schick contrasts UK and US AI infrastructure: UK data centers face 15-year grid connection waits with 70-80GW in queue, making compute 'grid-gated'. The US increasingly builds power and compute together, though Texas ERCOT alone tracks 450GW of proposed data center loads.
