Apatura
A new AI data center campus is planned for Plean, Scotland, by UK renewables developer Apatura. The project is expected to deliver more than £2 billion of investment and create over 2,000 jobs.
Apatura had originally intended to build the data center on agricultural land near Plean, outside Falkirk, in the county of Stirling. However, the firm later detailed its intention to house the campus instead on land at Glenbervie Business Centre in Larbert, three miles from Plean. A pre-planning application has been lodged with local authorities for this new site. Apatura has called the Plean campus a “major new investment in digital infrastructure for Falkirk.
