Our proposals
Future Point Manchester will be developed on sites across south Manchester. The sites have been secured with the exclusive right to develop data centres, laying the infrastructure for advanced computing, cloud services, and AI development from 2028.
Manchester is widely recognised as offering world class digital connectivity, with direct links to transatlantic and pan-European fibre networks. Alongside this, the sites benefit from proximity to the Manchester Ship Canal and robust water infrastructure, while the project will prioritise advanced cooling technologies to minimise water use.
The project has secured a bilateral connection agreement with the National Energy System Operator for a 400kV connection to National Grid’s Carrington substation, a key electrical transmission node, with energisation in 2028 delivering 1.4GW of power to the site.
Future Point Manchester will also host a mix of energy generation technologies, such as solar and battery energy storage systems.
The sites
Our sites are located in an area renowned for energy and industrial development, with existing utility infrastructure capable of supporting the high power demand of AI data centres. They are located close to National Grid’s 400kV Carrington substation and existing transatlantic and pan-European fibre networks.
The sites are within proximity to Manchester’s rapidly expanding digital and technology sector, ensuring access to a skilled workforce and excellent connectivity. They offer the physical space needed to construct scalable and energy efficient data centres. Additionally, their proximity to the motorway networks around Manchester (M60, M62, M6, M56) and to transport hubs such as airports, ports and major train stations enhances logistics and operational mobility.
Future Point Manchester also owns a 20 acre site located off Manchester Road, Carrington, which will house the electrical substation for the private electricity network.
