"The ambitious programme will convert legacy industrial and energy sites into a network of high-performance, low-carbon compute hubs, all designed, owned and operated exclusively within the UK. This ensures that every component - from physical locations to data processing - remains under full UK jurisdiction and regulatory oversight. Carbon3.ai has already completed a successful proof of concept and is preparing for full-scale deployment, with its first 5MW site in the East Midlands opening in March 2026."
"To support the next phase of its growth, Carbon3.ai has strengthened its leadership with appointments spanning government, finance and national security. Sana Khareghani, former Head of the UK Government Office for Artificial Intelligence, joins as Chief Strategy Officer, where she will spearhead the development of the national AI infrastructure strategy and ensure the company's network underpins the UK's digital, industrial and energy transition."
Carbon3.ai has committed £1 billion to build a nationwide network of fully sovereign, sustainable AI-ready data centres across the UK. The programme will convert legacy industrial and energy sites into high-performance, low-carbon compute hubs that are designed, owned and operated exclusively within the UK, keeping all components under UK jurisdiction and regulatory oversight. Carbon3.ai completed a proof of concept and plans a 5MW East Midlands site opening in March 2026, with planning submitted for a second Derbyshire facility. Leadership additions from government, finance and national security will guide strategy, finance and infrastructure security to secure sovereign compute capacity.
