Finite Resources Could Cause a Data Centre Crunch in 2026

Terry osifo

I see the rapid growth of AI, cloud computing and digital services creating both opportunities and challenges. One of the biggest challenges will be ensuring that we have enough energy, infrastructure and skilled professionals to support the increasing number of data centres needed across the country.

I believe the UK should take three important steps. First, invest further in renewable energy and upgrade the national grid to meet future demand. Second, expand engineering and technology apprenticeships to develop the workforce needed for this growing sector. Third, encourage data centre development across different regions of the UK rather than concentrating it in a few areas.

If these steps are taken, the UK could attract more investment, create high-quality jobs, strengthen its digital economy and position itself as a global leader in technology and innovation.

  • I suspect the ever increasing demand for AI processing will be contained once the big firms stop giving the service away for free and start charging a realistic amounts. At the moment they seem to be chucking AI at everything (including every Google search, whether you wanted it or not) - presumably trying to create a market that they can capitalise on in the future. The venture capitalists won't keep that up for ever though. Once end users start having to pay the real costs, I'm sure many will find that the simpler and cheaper (if "old fashioned") solutions are still perfectly usable or that they didn't really need to fabricate another picture with an extra silly hat on it.

    Oh the market is being created, just found this in my junk folder (links etc removed), hoping to get people hooked before the costs hit I reckon:-

    Hi Roger,

    Most businesses are talking about AI right now, but very few are actually using it in a structured, practical way — especially when it comes to embedding it into day-to-day operations.

    Fully Government Funded 12 Week AI for Leaders and Senior Managers Course

    For senior leaders and managers looking for something short, practical and immediately useful, our fully funded “AI for Business Leaders and Managers” programme is proving really popular.

    It’s a 12-week, high-impact course designed to help decision makers understand how AI can support productivity, improve processes and create efficiencies across the organisation, without needing a technical background.

    You can view this course here <> If you would like to enrol for this course, please just reply to this e-mail with who you would like to get started or book a video call with my colleague Leah on this link <>

    95%-100% Government Funded How to use AI in your Job Role Courses

    For organisations wanting to build deeper, role-specific AI capability, we also now offer three dedicated AI-Savvy programmes:

    • AI-Savvy Leaders
    • AI-Savvy Managers
    • AI-Savvy Professionals (anyone using a computer to help them complete their role)

    The AI-Savvy programmes are ideal for those who use a computer as part of their day-to-day role and want to learn how AI can genuinely help them work smarter, save time and improve output in a practical way. You can explore these courses<> If you would like to enrol for this course, please just reply to this e-mail with who you would like to get started or book a video call on this link with my colleague Leah<> to go through things.

    95%-100% Government Funded ILM Courses for AI-Savvy Leaders and Managers

    We have also just launched two brand new ILM-accredited programmes (Click each course to access the course content) <>

    These programmes combine recognised leadership and management development with practical AI implementation skills, helping leaders and managers strengthen their leadership capability whilst also understanding how AI can enhance performance, communication, decision making and operational effectiveness.

    These are not technical coding courses. They are designed for professionals already working in leadership, management or office-based roles who want to embrace how AI can support them in their job.

    You can explore the different options below as well as lots of other government funded courses in our portfolio including CIPD, AAT, Marketing, Content Creation, Data Analysis, ICT, Customer Service, Business Administration amongst many others.

    <>

    If it’s easier, we can simply run through the options together on a short discovery call with Leah<>

    Alternatively, feel free to give me a call directly on <> or WhatApp <>

    With the level of funding currently available, it’s definitely worth a quick conversation.

    Best regards,"

    The old trick of selling something to the management, who hold the purse strings. Meanwhile the workers, who are supposed to use it, think it's only marginally useful.
