UK data center firm Lotus has received approval to build its first hyperscale complex near Cardiff. The project will include three eight-story facilities spanning 50,400 square meters (542,500 square feet). The 16.42-hectare site, located along Rover Way in Tremorfa, was previously used as a non-domestic landfill site, also known as the "frag tip" site. It is currently an off-road motorcycle facility managed by Cardiff Council's Parks Service.
The data center complex will be powered by the National Grid, with a backup power supply from the neighboring 1,000MW Tremorfa Energy Park battery energy storage facility.
