Connectivity from Swindon

2 networks are listed at the sites in Swindon according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works.

The electricity behind Swindon

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Swindon are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. No single source dominates it: the largest, natural gas, supplies only 31.1% (2025). The detail: natural gas 31.1%, wind 29.4%, bioenergy 14.1%, nuclear 12.4%, solar 6.6%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 4.4%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 35.6% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 217 g of CO2, i.e. 2.1 times less than the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 7.7 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

What the ground has done under Swindon

No earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 200 km of Swindon since 1970, according to the US Geological Survey's global catalog. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

What Swindon does not allow

With a single listed site, Swindon cannot support a disaster-recovery plan spread over two separate buildings within the same town. A second site remains necessary, and it is found in the nearby cities listed below. No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.

Other cities with data centers near Swindon

The nearest site outside Swindon is 36 km away, in Oxford. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
