New AI infrastructure investment announced in Wales

Posted: 17th Aug 2026

Vantage Data Centers, a leading global provider of hyperscale data centre campuses, and Nebius, the AI cloud company, have agreed to deploy high-density, NVIDIA-powered AI infrastructure at Vantage’s CWL1 campus in Newport, Wales. The deployment represents the first announced commercial capacity commitment in the South Wales AI Growth Zone and will support growing UK demand for domestic AI compute capacity.

Under the agreement, Nebius will lease high-density capacity at CWL1 to support AI training, inference, Agentic AI and enterprise AI workloads, serving enterprises, researchers, startups and public sector organisations seeking access to advanced AI infrastructure.

This capacity is part of Nebius’ broader UK expansion and commitment to scale domestic AI compute capacity. In June, the company announced approximately £1.7 billion of committed capacity buildout across four UK sites. The company’s UK infrastructure buildout leverages NVIDIA’s latest full-stack, end-to-end DSX AI factory reference design and supports the UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan.
