Nscale loses Microsoft AI data center deal over U.K. power grid delays stretching into 2030s

Microsoft abandoned a planned Nscale AI data center in the U.K. after the local grid operator UK Power Networks said sufficient power may not be available until the early-to-mid 2030s. The facility was expected to supply 50 megawatts of computing capacity to Microsoft Azure using 23,040 Nvidia chips by early 2027.
