GBP200M Data Centre Project Announced For Wales Next Generation Data will establish Europe’s largest
and most technically advanced “green” data centre at the
site of the former LG Semicon plant at Newport. The announcement was
made by Ieuan Wyn Jones, Minister for the Economy and Transport, who
described it as a “strategically important investment” that
would bring long-term benefits to the economy. The NGD Europe 1 data
centre will be based in the former Hynix semiconductor plant –
formerly LG Semicon. The 70,000 square metre facility is owned by the
Welsh Assembly Government. It will be located near an electricity sub-station
which will ensure that the facility has adequate power for the foreseeable
future. Next Generation Data plans to subdivide the building into a
large number of data halls with dedicated infrastructure. An area will
also be designated specifically for small and medium-sized businesses
in Wales. Next Generation Data said it is in negotiations with several
large blue chip companies and anchor tenants are being signed up on
a co-location basis and allocated long-term sub leases for secure areas
within the facility, where they will install their own servers and run
their business independently. The company will also provide managed
services which will be particularly attractive for small and medium-sized
enterprises. It is hoped the first tenants can move in later this year.
