Our Vision
A National Platform for AI, Energy and Growth
CX Technology Campus is designed to be one of the UK’s most significant integrated developments for digital infrastructure and clean energy.
It responds directly to national priorities:
- AI growth and digital capacity
- Net zero and energy transition
- Regional economic rebalancing
Data Centres
The campus will deliver a series of hyperscale, AI-enabled data centres designed to support advanced computing workloads, including machine learning, data processing and cloud services.
These facilities require high levels of power, cooling and connectivity. CX Technology Campus can provide all three at scale, supported by existing infrastructure and available land.
- AI Enabled
- Resilient
- Connected
- Net Zero Carbon Operating
Private Grid
Energy resilience underpins the project.
The campus will integrate directly with local and regional energy systems, including:
- Grid connections to existing substations
- Private wire connections to renewable energy sources
- Potential hydrogen integration for future energy flexibility
This approach ensures reliable and scalable power for long-term operation.
- Low Cost of Energy
- Zero Carbon
- Resilient Multiple Supplies
- Grid Connection
Community
Chapelcross has supported local communities for generations. This next phase ensures it continues to do so for decades to come.
The CX Technology Campus is designed to deliver long-term, meaningful benefits for Dumfries and Galloway, including:
- High-quality jobs across construction and long-term operations
- Apprenticeships and skills pathways linked to digital and energy sectors
- Opportunities for local businesses through supply chains and services
- Investment in education and training through on-site facilities
The project is being shaped through structured and ongoing community engagement, with feedback informing the design and development process ahead of planning submission.
- Jobs Creation
- STEM Education Programme
- Infrastructure Improvements
