Ravenscraig AI Energy Campus
Developed independently but shaped by the vision of Ravenscraig Ltd and the Ravenscraig Promise, the project reflects a shared commitment to creating a cleaner, better future for the community. Our plans will deliver new energy and digital infrastructure to Ravenscraig, building on long-standing ambitions for a thriving, mixed-use community.
Project timeline
We’re still in the early stages of planning and consultation. This timeline shows the key steps involved in bringing forward the Ravenscraig AI Energy Campus – from early engagement and formal planning to potential construction and operation.
Our aim is to work openly and in partnership with the community throughout, ensuring local voices are reflected in how the proposals evolve.
In June 2025, we secured a formal agreement with the electricity network operator NESO, confirming that the project can connect to the grid.
In parallel with the public consultations, specialist consultants will carry out detailed environmental, technical, and ground condition surveys.
Why now?
AI is driving unprecedented demand for secure data capacity and energy storage. Countries worldwide are racing to attract the investment and infrastructure needed to lead in this new digital economy.
The UK Government has launched AI Growth Zones to stay competitive, and opportunities for the UK and Scotland are time‑limited. Ravenscraig is uniquely positioned to respond. With the right scale, strategic connections, and a confirmed grid connection for 2030, the site can deliver nationally significant infrastructure at exactly the right moment.
If we miss this window, the investment and the jobs will go elsewhere. Acting now could secure billions in long‑term value for the UK and lasting benefits for the local community, from high‑quality jobs and skills to enhanced infrastructure.
