Uniper: Nottinghamshire, UK

Ownership: Uniper owns the building.

Lot Size: 667 acres

The planned data center campus at the former Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire represents one of the UK's most significant greenfield infrastructure opportunities, transforming the nation's last coal-fired plant into a massive hub for digital infrastructure.

Driven by landowner Uniper in partnership with local authorities, the 270-hectare site leverages its legacy grid connection and East Midlands Freeport status to attract global hyperscalers and AI developers. By modifying the site's Local Development Order (LDO) to unlock the unconstrained southern plot below the A453 road, the project bypasses heavy demolition bottlenecks, allowing a multi-billion-pound, high-density AI growth campus to be brought online years ahead of the northern plot's scheduled 2030 decommissioning timeline.
