Microsoft ’s AI data center partners are facing significant construction delays due to power shortages, as reported by satellite imagery. The delays are affecting projects that involve Microsoft’s collaboration with Nscale and Nvidia , particularly for a planned AI data center in Loughton, Essex. The power grid officials have informed Nscale that electricity may not be available until the 2030s, leading Microsoft to terminate its agreement for the site, although Nscale remains committed to finding alternative power sources.
