A new data centre is planned for Bradford’s Listerhills Road, aiming to bolster the region’s digital infrastructure and attract rapidly growing industries such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). The facility, proposed by Deep Green Technologies Ltd, is strategically located near a developing energy centre and is expected to support a wide range of businesses and universities across the north of England.
If approved, the centre will house large-scale computing equipment and servers to meet the growing demand for data processing. It will serve industries reliant on high-performance computing, including AI, providing essential digital services to businesses and academic institutions.
In addition to its technical functions, the data centre will benefit from a partnership with the nearby 1energy facility. Excess heat generated by the centre will be channelled to support the energy centre, contributing to the low-carbon heating system supplying key city buildings, including Bradford City Hall and the law courts.
Plans for the data centre include four emergency generators to ensure continuity of service during power outages. A decision on the proposal is expected in October, marking a potential step forward in Bradford’s digital transformation.
