Plean data centre CGI

Our proposal at Plean

Following further site assessments and discussions with partners, Apatura has decided not to progress the proposed AI data centre campus at Plean (Land near A9, Old Plean, Plean, Stirling, Scotland, FK7 8BE) at this time.

We are grateful to everyone who has taken the time to review and provide feedback on our initial plans. While this proposal will not be moving forward, the site remains of interest to us, and we will continue to explore options for its future potential.

We will provide updates on this page if there are any changes to the site’s status or new proposals to share.
