Action to Protect Rural Scotland (APRS) has said the data centre’s capacity, at 1000MW, is larger than any data centre currently operating globally.

APRS also said most of the project would be on greenfield land rather than brownfield.

It also said that the energy needs of the centre would amount to roughly 2.2 million households.
