Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he plans to publish the data centre strategy; and whether that strategy will include measures on managing electricity network capacity, energy system and environmental impacts.

The Department is working closely with the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology to understand the strategic need for data centres in Great Britain, including their energy system and environmental impacts. Government will say more on this in due course.
