The Royal Gazette has published a Prime Minister's Office regulation creating a data centre policy board chaired by a deputy prime minister. It sets six core powers, including standards for doing business and impact assessment, with a focus on economic benefit and clean energy. The stated concerns are electricity demand and prices, water supply for households and farming, and fire risk. For most small firms this does not change daily operations. It matters if you supply power, water, construction or cooling services to data centres, or if electricity tariffs or water allocation are a concern in your area.
