## Description
Due to the closure of JET (the Joint European Torus), UKAEA’s Culham Campus offers a unique and timely value proposition for UK Government priority projects and sectors that require significant high-power infrastructure. Available power supplies are capable of delivering 575MW peak capacity, 144MW steady state capacity and due to upgrade works will receive dual supply resilient connection to National Grid by mid-2026. Culham Campus itself, a state-of-the-art research centre dating back to the 1960’s is a secure/patrolled closed site, with proximity to London/Oxford/Harwell, National Rail, the A34 and the River Thames. Culham therefore offers a unique opportunity not only for fusion startups, but also for locating large scale data centres in support of the unprecedented growth in the AI / Tech and adjacent sectors who urgently require expansion of large-scale computer.
