Crain's Manchester Business - 16/06/2008
Manchester's power shortage has forced UK Grid, a data centre operator, to draw up plans to generate its own electricity.
It is considering an investment of at least £4.5m in combined heat and power plants to serve a new centre it is planning in the Northern Quarter.
The company, which has tripled its turnover each year since 2005 — hitting £420,000 in 2007 with a target of £1.5m to year end March 2009 — said if it did not take the step, its growth would soon be hindered by electricity supply problems.
