In Scotland alone there are proposals for 24 Data Centres to be brought online in the next five years. Combined they have an energy requirement equivalent to 1.5 x the entire country's current energy consumption. Scotland is only becoming sufficiently powered by renewable energy at present, bringing these data centres online would divert this energy from efforts to decarbonise the economy. Take action to call for tighter planning regulations to limit their impact!
