Google to Invest $1 Billion in United Kingdom Data Centre

Google has today announced the start of construction on a new data center in Waltham Cross. The data center will be located on a 13-acre site that Google purchased in October 2020 and will help provide reliable digital services for Google Cloud upon completion. The new data center will cost the country $1 billion.
Google's data centers help power popular digital services like Google Cloud, Workspace (which includes Gmail, Docs, Sheets and more), Search and Maps for people and organizations around the world. Google's continued investment in technical infrastructure, including data centres, is instrumental in supporting the company's artificial intelligence (AI) innovation and growing cloud needs in the UK.
Google, which has more than 7,000 employees in Britain, also said the waste heat generated from the data center would be an opportunity for energy savings that could benefit the local community.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: "The UK is a fantastic place to invest and Google's $1 billion investment is proof that the UK is a center of excellence in technology and has huge potential for growth." said his words.
