'Green' data centre for Edinburgh rejected by councillors

Edinburgh councillors have thrown out plans for a 140MW ‘green’ data centre at South Gyle. There was cross-party agreement in refusing the plan, with concerns about ‘how it affects the climate emergency’ and ‘how emissions could be minimised’.

After an almost-four hour meeting, including a presentation from the applicant, not a single councillor from any political party voted in favour of the scheme.
