Proposals reuse part of the former steelworks site. Current consultation material pairs the 550 MW data campus with a 150 MW BESS. Earlier material referred to a larger battery concept, so the two versions should not be combined into one specification.

Equinix
The South Mimms development site was sold to Equinix in October 2025. The earlier developer reported planning approval and a 400 MVA power reservation. Apparent power in MVA is not equivalent to MW without a power factor, and a reservation is not metered demand.
