Containerised data centre beside a UK farm powered by renewables

FOR UK FARMERS WITH RENEWABLE POWER

Turn spare energy into steady farm income.

Host a secure, containerised data centre on your land and make the renewable power you already generate work harder — with no upfront cost and no day-to-day work.

No upfront costs No maintenance costs No technical knowledge needed

A SIMPLE NEW REVENUE STREAM

Small footprint.
Serious opportunity.

A Farm Data Centre is a weatherproof ISO containerised unit that runs computer tasks for UK businesses. It uses renewable electricity that might otherwise be exported to the grid and turns it into a more valuable, dependable income stream.

Once installed, the unit operates quietly in the background while you carry on running your farm.

Predictable income

Monthly hosting income plus contracted payment for the renewable power you supply.

Low impact

A compact, quiet installation designed to sit out of the way of everyday farm operations.

No operating risk

We cover the installation, insurance, maintenance, repairs and removal.

WHAT YOU EARN

Two dependable sources of income.

Your return depends on how much renewable power your site currently exports. Suitable farms receive a clear commercial proposal before making any commitment.

01

Hosting income

A monthly payment for accommodating the secure ISO container on your land.

02

Power income

Sell excess renewable electricity under a fixed-price contracted power purchase agreement.

IS YOUR FARM SUITABLE?

Most farms already have what’s needed.

We look for three straightforward things. If connectivity needs improving, we can assess suitable alternatives.

  • A small area of hardstanding

    Enough space for a secure containerised unit and safe access.

  • Renewable generation

    Solar, wind, anaerobic digestion or hydro with excess capacity.

  • Basic connectivity

    A practical data connection, or the potential for an alternative solution.
