The Government announced on the 12th of September 2025, that UK Data Centres, would be classed a as ‘Critical National Infrastructure’. Perhaps the most interesting part of the announcement is contained in a footnote that "CNI will include both the physical data centres and the cloud operators that use them to supply ordinary services". This presentation will discuss what this may mean for UK Data Centres and the steps that they are expected to take.
