Green Mountain has begun construction on a new 14 MW data centre, located at its LON1-East campus in Romford.

The facility will be built over two 7 MW phases, with the first phase scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, there is potential for future expansion of 16 MW.

The new site utilises certified renewable power as well as backup power generators that use HVO fuel instead of diesel.

The site was renamed LON1-East in January of this year when Green Mountain incorporated Infinity Data Centres into its portfolio. The site has subsequently been rebranded ready for major expansion.

“We are delighted to begin expanding the existing operational site to bring additional capacity to market. The unique location coupled with a strong team experienced in both building and operating highly secure data centres with 100% availability, makes this a fantastic site for customers looking for low latency connectivity, and easy access to London and with an opportunity to expand to 30 MW including build to suit options in a single campus,” said Simon Blackburn, Managing Director, Green Mountain UK.
