Amazon data centres to consume ‘as much electricity to power Burnley'
A complex of huge data centres being built by Amazon in Britain will consume as much electricity needed to power a town the size of Burnley, campaigners have claimed. The proposed data centres, near Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire, are projected to consume around 114.8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity a year. This equivalent to the power consumed by more than 42,500 UK households, according to researchers at Global Action Plan, which is campaigning against the development. It exceeds the number of homes in Burnley, which stood at 41,955 after the most recent Census in 2021. Planning documents show the two data centres in the development will include 42 back-up diesel generators, each around 25 metres tall, that need to be fired up fortnightly to check they are working. It is estimated this will produce the same emissions as 1,079 homes heated by gas. The plans were lodged with Central Bedfordshire Council by Colliers Properties, a known partner of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the retail giant's cloud computing division. The documents name Amazon Data Services UK as the site's eventual operator. Known as Linmere Island, the project would sit on an empty 22-acre greenfield site. While the plans also include 140 solar panels, it is not clear how much power they will supply to the data centres. It comes amid growing pushback against a slew of 'hyperscale' data centre projects being lined up across Britain – a central part of the Prime Minister's strategy to boost economic growth – with campaigners raising concerns over their environmental impact. One complex near Blyth, Northumberland, is forecast to produce more greenhouse gas emissions than Birmingham Airport, which carries 12m passengers per year. Another in Elsham, Lincolnshire, is predicted to generate five times the carbon dioxide of the same airport. It underscores the challenge faced by Sir Keir Starmer as he battles to restore economic growth while hitting net zero targets. Data centres are vital to artificial intelligence, and were classed as critical national infrastructure last September, with Sir Keir establishing 'AI growth zones' to speed up such building projects. AWS set out plans last September to invest £8bn in the UK to build data centres. At the time, Tanuja Randery of AWS, said its strategy would help meet the 'growing needs' of its customers and 'support the transformation of the UK's digital economy'. The investment was hailed by Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, as 'the start of the economic revival', and that it showed 'Britain is a place to do business'. But such developments require vast amounts of energy that puts it at odds with the Government's mission to become net zero by 2050. It has prompted Matt Garman, chief executive of AWS, to urge the UK to increase its supply of nuclear energy for data centres in an interview with the BBC last month. There are also mounting concerns over the amount of water that some data centres require to keep their computer banks cool enough to function properly. Oliver Hayes, head of policy and campaigns at Global Action Plan, said: 'It's astonishing that communities are expected to like it or lump it when it comes to this wave of giant data centres. 'Amazon is opaque about how much of Houghton Regis' water it will suck up in order to cool the IT equipment, but given this one data centre will require as much electricity as a town the size of Burnley, we can assume the pressure on local water supplies will be intense – to say nothing of the noise and air pollution caused by fortnightly testing of its 42 backup diesel generators.'

5 Business Technology News Stories This Week: Amazon Replacing Workers With AI
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 3: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy speaks during a keynote address at AWS ... More re:Invent 2024, a conference hosted by Amazon Web Services, at The Venetian Las Vegas on December 3, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo byfor Amazon Web Services) Here are five things in technology that happened this week and how they affect your business. Did you miss them? This Week in Business Technology News Business Technology News #1 – AI means Amazon will need fewer white-collar workers over time, CEO says. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently sent a company-wide email outlining how generative AI is reshaping Amazon's future and its workforce. He emphasized that while AI will boost efficiency and reinvent customer experiences, it will also lead to fewer white-collar jobs over time. Jassy noted that Amazon is already using AI across nearly every part of its operations – from Alexa+ and shopping tools to fulfillment logistics and advertising. The company has over 1,000 generative AI tools in development, and Jassy believes this is just the beginning. He encouraged employees to embrace the shift by learning about AI, attending workshops, and experimenting with the technology. Those who adapt will be 'well-positioned to have high impact and help us reinvent the company,' Jassy said. (Source: Quartz) Why this is important for your business: Everybody needs to take a breath. Knowing how unreliable, inaccurate, and error-prone today's AI tools are I don't see this technology replacing people right away. But…it's going to happen, and likely more so in the next 2-5 years. If you're an employee of a big company take to heart Jassy's advice: become expert with these tools so that you can become valuable, productive and profitable to your employer. If you're a small business owner the same applies. Business Technology News #2 – farm-ng updates Amiga robot software for small, midsize farms. Robotics platform Farm-ng has rolled out a major software update for its Amiga modular robot – designed to better serve small and midsize farms. A streamlined, grower-friendly interface simplifies robot control even for users with minimal technology experience. A new Job Manager lets farmers plan, save, and repeat tasks like seeding, weeding, and spraying with precision. The update also includes improved hands-free navigation and automated implement control within defined farming zones. All updates are delivered over-the-air (OTA) so existing users can upgrade without new hardware or complex installs. (Source: The Robot Report) Why this is important for your business: Often overlooked by the mainstream news, ag-tech has been booming over the past few years. Companies like Farm-ng have been rolling out robotics, internet-of-things-enabled equipment and sensors as well as advanced predictive analytics leveraging AI to better forecast production. This is an industry where ever penny counts and technology is making a difference. Business Technology News #3 – Vercepta launches to give small business owners real-time control over online reputation. Reputation management platform Vercepta has officially launched, giving small business owners real-time control over their online reputation. Developed by Stellar Analytics, Vercepta offers features typically reserved for large enterprises, including real-time alerts for new reviews across major platforms. Data-driven insights track sentiment trends and identify potential risks. These tools help businesses not just react to feedback but also proactively manage their public image. Founder Justin Jennings emphasized that most reputation tools are built for agencies, not the business owners themselves. (Source: KXAN Austin) Why this is important for your business: Reputation management remains one of the top security concerns for small businesses and in some cases even more important that malware, ransomware or data breaches. Hackers stealing data or impersonating businesses can cause far-reaching reputation issues, particularly on social platforms. Business Technology News #4 – Reddit unveils AI-driven ad tools to help brands tap into user discussions. Reddit has launched two new AI-powered advertising tools – Reddit Insights and Conversation Summary Add-ons – to help brands tap into real-time user discussions and trends across the platform. Reddit Insights uses AI to analyze billions of posts and comments, surfacing cultural trends, brand sentiment, and emerging topics to guide campaign planning. Conversation Summary Add-ons allow advertisers to display curated, positive user comments directly beneath promoted posts, adding authenticity and social proof. These tools are part of Reddit's broader push to monetize its vast trove of community-driven content while preserving its unique, human-centered vibe. (Source: Reuters) Why this is important for your business: Reddit continues to grow in popularity among people doing research, having conversations or looking for feedback on their ideas. I'm active on a couple of Reddit groups and have learned much from other users too. Which his why it's no surprise that advertisers – big and small – are looking to leverage this audience. And Reddit is responding – these new tools look promising to those who want to make the Reddit community part of their marketing campaigns. Business Technology News #5 – WhatsApp is officially getting ads. WhatsApp is officially rolling out advertisements in its Status feature, making a major shift for the previously ad-free messaging app. These ads will appear in the updates tab – similar to Instagram Stories – and will not affect private chats, which remain end-to-end encrypted. Alongside Status ads, WhatsApp is also introducing paid channel subscriptions allowing creators to offer exclusive content. Promoted channels will give businesses and influencers more visibility. Meta says ad targeting will rely on basic data like location, language, and user interactions – especially for those who link WhatsApp with other Meta services. This is part of the company's broader strategy to monetize WhatsApp's massive user base. (Source: The Verge) Why this is important for your business: Speaking of advertising! Like Reddit (above), WhatsApp has a huge community and – let's admit it – we've been using this free service for years without anything being asked of us. Well, that's changing. Going forward you can expect to see more ads on this platform, which maybe annoying but it can also present marketing opportunities for small businesses looking to reach new audiences. Every week I pick 5 business technology news stories and round them up here, along with my comments.
