Drax, Brookfield and Radiant plan a phased data centre campus at Drax Power Station, starting with up to 100 MW from early 2028
What changed
Drax, Brookfield and Radiant, Brookfield's UK AI infrastructure platform, have agreed to develop and operate data centre capacity at Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire, backed by the Brookfield-Qai joint venture. Phase 1 targets up to 100 MW, operational from Q1 2028, subject to planning, regulatory and network approvals and finding a tenant. The partners state an ambition of 500 MW between 2028 and 2031. Brookfield estimates total investment could exceed £20 billion, including £2.5 billion for phase 1 (official, company estimates and targets). The 1,000 acre estate has 4 GW of grid access and 2.6 GW of dispatchable generation, which is site context, not data centre capacity. Buyers should treat this as an early-stage campus, with consultation due shortly and planning to follow.
