Kao Data Harlow Campus
- Planned critical IT
- 71 MW
- Updated
- Oct 28, 2026
Kao Data announced a 22 MW, ten-year agreement with Nebius on June 8, 2026, and an October 2026 agreement to host CommonAI’s Scaling Inference Lab at Harlow. These are customer commitments, not evidence that all contracted capacity has been delivered. Kao Data Harlow has two operating buildings, a third in development and a fourth planned. The 71 MW four-building ITE design is publishable; the separate 150 MW future concept and reported £230 million financing remain clearly scoped as campus context. Tenant utilization, contract pricing and undisclosed project financing remain outside the verified public record.
