Revealed: landmark Scottish AI project has no prospect of meeting renewables promise
A Scottish AI datacentre project in Lanarkshire, developed by CoreWeave and DataVita with government backing, has been found to misrepresent its renewable energy plans, as officials and developers privately acknowledged power provision challenges. The project, promised to be fully powered by on-site renewables by 2030, faces criticism for misleading claims and feasibility concerns.
