    Britain isn't considering datacenters' thirst for water in its 'AI superpower' ambitions

    The UK government's plan to become an AI superpower overlooks the significant water demands of datacenters, risking competition with residential and commercial water needs, especially in drought-prone regions. Water UK warns that current forecasts exclude datacenter usage, hindering infrastructure planning and potentially blocking housing and business projects. The organization calls for new water infrastructure, efficiency standards, and non-potable water use to address growing consumption.

    UK guts planning red tape so datacenters can bypass the neighbors faster

    The UK's Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 aims to reduce approval times for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) by up to 12 months, with datacenters now included in this category. The reforms, effective later this month, eliminate pre-application consultations for major projects like power stations and datacenters, streamlining approvals through central oversight instead of local councils.
