What will Ofgem's new power connection reforms mean for data centre development?

Ofgem's approved reforms to the UK power connection process mark a pivotal shift for data centre development—prioritising project readiness over queue position. These changes could accelerate timelines and reshape investment strategies. Find out what this means for your project and how to prepare.

How much power does a data center rack have?

While power density per rack averaged 6 kW in 2006, it climbed to about 8 kW by 2012, and is expected to approach. 12 kW per rack by 2014, according to data collected by the Data Center Users Group, sponsored by VertivTM. The need now exists for taller, wider and deeper racks to accommodate the changes in IT equipment and densities.

How do I connect a data center rack to a telecommunications system?

Earth/bond the data center racks to the telecommunications ground that in turn will be connected to the facility ground system. Have an electrician or qualified facilities representative verify that there are three or more power connections fed from separate redundant PDUs before turning on the system.

How does a data centre power system work?

The power system inside a data centre must ensure high availability while maintaining performance, efficiency, and reliability. This is typically achieved through a layered, modular approach. Primary grid connections often connect at medium or high voltage, typically 11 kV or 33 kV depending on the size and location of the site.
