Shovel ready
Northern Lincolnshire AI Growth Zone (NGLAIZ) is shovel-ready and will provide 2.5 GW of AI computing power and £20bn+ of inward investment, boosting the regional and national economy and supporting UK leadership in AI.
​​
The project will see the delivery of four AI technology campuses, each centred around a new AI data centre, with energisation by 2029. One of the data centres – Humber Tech Park – has already been granted planning permission and can provide 384 GW of computing power.
​​​
NLAIGZ will enable AI training facilities for businesses across the UK and the world, while encouraging the application of AI to local manufacturing and heavy industries.
​
​​
Energy sourcing assured
​
With 20% of the UK’s electricity generated in the region – including 33% of the UK’s offshore wind capacity – energy sourcing for the project is assured. Greystoke has 2 GWs of accepted grid connections.​
​
​Investment in NLAIGZ will accelerate the path to net zero for the UK’s largest industrial cluster and draw on its extensive skills base.​
​
Local backing
​
​The project will bring more than 14,000 new construction jobs, 1,650 new operational jobs on site. NLGAIZ will prioritise the use of UK-made steel in its construction, by adopting the UK Steel Charter. 30% of the supply chain will be sourced locally and £50m+ invested in skills and training.
​
NLAIGZ is supported by local councillors, members of parliament, and a partnership forum which includes CATCH, the Federation of Small Businesses, Humber Energy Board, Humber Freeport and North Lincolnshire Council.
