Microsoft Cancels AI Data Center Project with Nscale Due to Grid Delays
Microsoft has withdrawn from its planned AI data center project with Nscale in Essex, UK. The project, which aimed to fund a supercomputer with 23,040 Nvidia GB300 processors, was canceled due to grid delays that pushed potential power availability into the early-to-mid 2030s. The project, which was expected to deliver in early 2027, was exploring on-site power generation and a faster grid connection to meet the timeline.
