The infrastructure that will power the UK's digital future.
PACE DC develops sustainable high-performance-compute data centres co-located with utility-scale renewable generation and battery storage - clean power built into the asset itself, not procured on paper. Closed-loop cooling means zero water consumption.
The data centre is to the digital economy what the power station is to the physical one: critical national infrastructure.
High performance computing is restructuring the economy the way the steam engine once did. The UK's ability to compete depends on domestic compute capacity - without it, the economic activity, jobs, tax and sovereignty that come with it move overseas.
A data centre co-located with renewables and battery storage doesn't simply consume from the grid. It anchors stable, long-term demand that helps justify new generation and strengthens national energy security.
PACE DC is the data centre arm of Pathfinder Clean Energy (PACE) - a UK-headquartered clean-infrastructure developer, constructor and investor with 2 GW+ of projects in its track record across four countries. Visit pathfinderce.com ↗
Co-locating generation, storage and demand.
Not procuring power on paper. PACE DC integrates supply and demand at the same site - reducing reliance on grid carbon averages and investing in grid-supporting infrastructure rather than only drawing from it.
Utility-scale renewables
Co-located renewable generation powers the facility directly via private wire - first-party clean electrons, integrating supply and demand at the same site. A secured grid connection supplies the balance.
Battery storage (BESS)
On-site BESS manages supply continuity and stores clean energy generated on site, shifting daytime generation into overnight operation - as primary backup in place of diesel, and supporting the local electricity network during system stress.
Compute Infrastructure for the AI Era
Carrier-neutral infrastructure engineered for AI, cloud and high-performance computing workloads. Designed to deliver high availability, low latency and flexible deployment for a wide range of operators.
Renewable energy is part of the asset - not procured on paper.
Utility-scale solar and battery storage connected by direct private wire position the platform among the genuinely lowest-carbon compute facilities in the UK and beyond.
Power is the defining constraint. It's also what we know best.
Fifteen years in energy, across four countries and every part of the value chain. Our team has originated sites, delivered planning consents, secured grid connections and built and operated projects - then commercialised them in live markets.
Grid capacity is the defining constraint in UK infrastructure. PACE secured its position early - and is now delivering.
The team behind PACE DC.
Development, grid and delivery led from the front, supported by an experienced team across construction, finance, investment and legal.
