Newport Imperial Park datacentre project update
Why datacentres are needed
Datacentres provide the physical infrastructure for the technology we depend on at work and in our personal lives. Whenever you open an app on your phone, join a virtual classroom or meeting, snap and save photos, or play a game with your friends online, you are using a datacentre. Local businesses, government, hospitals, and schools rely on datacentres every day to deliver goods and services to you.

Planning permission timeline
Microsoft will be applying for planning permission for a datacentre in Newport, Wales.
We are preparing a planning application for the site in the Imperial Park, which was the former Quinn Radiators plant, to deliver a new state of the art datacentre.
We held two public drop-in sessions on the proposals on 27 and 28 September. These events featured information about the project and were attended by members of the project who could answer any questions.
Further information and updates will be provided in due course.
