# Planned UK data center proposes gas power amid grid delay

_Published Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 11:07 AM EDT · Infrastructure · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

A planned UK data center has proposed relying mainly on gas generators while it waits at least a decade for a firm electricity-grid connection. Local residents have objected to the proposal. The plan would let the project seek power outside the grid connection it is waiting for, but the use of gas generators remains proposed.
