Express Distribution Park Ltd has submitted early-stage plans for a large-scale data center development on land between the A39 Bath Road and an existing solar farm near Junction 23 of the M5 in Bridgwater. The proposed site spans approximately 129 hectares (319 acres).
The facility is highly expected to receive much of the supply coming from a neighboring solar farm. The project is currently in the early planning stage, with no confirmed operator or detailed masterplan, and construction could take approximately 3.5 years if approved.
