Getting power to a UK data centre is now the critical path. CM Energy Insight helps data centre developers, hyperscalers, and their investors navigate every layer of the UK power access problem

Data Centre Power

What we advise on :

  • Grid connection strategy and queue positioning — 132kV to 400kV, ICP/IDNO

  • Demand connection queue reform: Ofgem TMO4+, priority connection strategy

  • AI Growth Zone designation support  / DSIT Connections Accelerator engagement

  • Embedded generation development: Fuel Cells, CCGT, OCGT, gas engines, utility-scale BESS

  • Behind-the-meter generation: private wire, Grid Code compliance, regulatory structure

  • Self-build pathways (build-and-transfer / build-and-operate) under the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025

  • Corporate PPA structuring and wholesale power procurement

Why CM Energy Insight:

Chris Moore holds an active GW scale 400kV TSO connection mandate for a UK data centre developer. He founded IPP developers that delivered utility-scale power plants and 400kV grid connections ahead of incumbent utilities, and has 40 years of execution experience across CCGT, OCGT, gas engines, 400kV TSO connections, and 500 MWe BESS.
