Lord Vallance of Balham (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2025

Debate

Artificial Intelligence: Emissions

Contribution

Not being from DESNZ, I will ask somebody from that department to give the noble Earl a specific answer on that project, but we will look for where there are sources of energy as we think about where to place data centres. The recent call for expressions of interest in AI growth zones has had more than 200 expressions of interest. They will be considered on the basis of where the energy is available, or could be available, and how we can ensure that we get a clean energy supply to data centres.
