英国能源监管机构Ofgem提议对数据中心项目征收高额前期费用，以缓解日益严重的电网接入排队问题1。目前有315个数据中心项目排队等待电网连接，其总电力需求达73GW，超过英国峰值电力需求45GW约30GW1。
根据Ofgem的方案，数据中心运营商（包括亚马逊和微软等）如要预留500MW的电网容量，需支付3.5亿英镑的担保金1。此外，这些项目还需达到特定的里程碑目标，未能按期达成者将被移出接入队列1。
全球范围内，能源需求在100MW以上的数据中心项目在2021至2024年间共有250个被宣布1。据行业研究机构Uptime预测，这些全球项目中约有50%可能无法如期实现或面临延期1。
Britain's energy regulator Ofgem has proposed imposing substantial upfront fees on datacentre projects seeking grid connections, a measure designed to address the mounting backlog of facilities waiting to connect to the network.1 The proposal would require datacentre operators, including major companies such as Amazon and Microsoft, to post a £350 million security deposit to reserve 500MW of grid capacity.1 Projects would also need to meet specified milestone targets or face removal from the connection queue.1
The pressure to implement such measures reflects the scale of current demand.1 Some 315 datacentres are currently queued for grid connections, collectively requiring 73GW of power—nearly 30GW more than Britain's peak electricity demand of 45GW.1 This surge in datacentre expansion is part of a broader global trend, with approximately 250 energy-intensive datacentre projects announced between 2021 and 2024.1 Industry analysis suggests that roughly half of these global projects may fail to proceed or face significant delays.1
