TBC Partners Cambois data centre campus
Proposed
United Kingdom · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
TBC Partners, a UK joint family office focused on energy transition and impact investments, said in January 2025 it had started developing data centres at Blyth and Didcot, describing them as two 300 MW projects with procured demand connections. In August 2026 it asked Northumberland County Council for a screening opinion on whether an environmental impact assessment is needed for a campus of about 12 hectares on Factory Road, Cambois, near the QTS campus. Construction would take about two years, with occupation and operation intended between 2030 and 2035. A full planning application had not been filed.
