The world’s largest data center, a new business park and a sustainable village with hundreds of homes could be created in the south-west of Scotland under an ambitious 800 million pound development plan.
The Peelhouses data centre and sustainable village in Lockerbie would generate some of its power from wind turbines and a new bio-mass station. With global demand for data storage expected to double by 2012, demand already outstrips supply. A planning application for the development is expected to be filed in March. Data centres house servers and back-up storage systems for websites and business. The new village, linked to lockerbie by paths and cycle ways, would also help meet demand for social housing in the area.
