Ben Houchen, mayor of Tees Valley combined authority, states the new capacity allows the region to compete with the US, Gulf, and Europe for datacenter projects, positioning Teesside as preferable to locations like Texas or Abu Dhabi for UK AI infrastructure.
“If Britain is serious about having its own AI capability, with sensitive data stored safely on British soil, it needs somewhere to physically put it, and I'd much rather that was Teesside than Texas or Abu Dhabi.”
