Summary
The government should consider expanding the availability of renewable microgrids as a cheaper and faster alternative to building nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) to meet the energy needs of datacentres, according to the Centre for Net Zero (CNZ).
The government is championing the use of nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) as a possible answer to shoring up the nation’s energy supplies, as part of its push to get UK energy grids running on clean energy by 2030.
However, the CNZ, which is a research institute focused on predicting future energy demands, said its analysis shows that expanding the number of renewable microgrids across the UK could offer a faster and more cost-effective way of meeting the growing energy needs of the nation’s burgeoning number of datacentres.
