The Shape of Power to Come
The second half of 2025 is set to be transformational for the data centre industry.
With AI workloads intensifying, sustainability targets tightening and geopolitical pressures mounting, the critical power and data centre landscape is shifting fast. Adaptability, speed and infrastructure intelligence are no longer competitive advantages, they’re baseline requirements.
The Pressure is Real… And it’s Rising
Across the UK and Europe grid constraints are tightening. In Greater London and parts of the Southeast, new data centre applications are already being paused or delayed due to insufficient grid capacity. Meanwhile, power-hungry AI deployments are set to double by the end ofthe year.
So how has this affected the industry?
- In Ireland, a moratorium on new data centre connections continuesto affect the industry, with an expected end date of 2028.
- The heads of Google and Amazon both restated their commitment to investing in the future of AI and the infrastructure needed, with plans to invest billions in next-gen power strategies, including battery storage and microgrid integration.
- The UK’s National Grid is now forecasting record-low spare capacity margins for winter 2025, underscoring the need for built-in resilience.
The Response? Smarter Power, Faster Deployment.
Businesses are no longer waiting for traditional infrastructure timelines. They’re turning to modular, pre-fabricated, AI-ready solutions that bypass construction delays, reduce risk and deliver immediate scalability.
Fabrication is being brought in-house. Power strategies are going hybrid. Resilience is being redefined as a core design principle.
In a Changing Landscape Durata is Leading with Certainty
As we move into the second half of 2025, our focus is clear:
- Accelerate modular deployment timelines from design to energisation
- Integrate critical power with real-time monitoring and AI analytics
- Build infrastructure that is flexible with demand, not against it
- Deliver engineered-in-Britain quality at hyperscale speed
Powering What’s Next
The pace of change isn’t slowing, and neither are we. As demand surges and constraints tighten, only those with smarter, faster and more resilient infrastructure will thrive. At Durata, we’re not just adapting to the future…we’re building it. With modular, AI-ready power strategies designed for scale, speed and sustainability, we’re helping companies turn disruption into opportunity.
