Venture West data centre
Venture West data centre is a data centre in England, United Kingdom, with a 1,749 m² building, operated by The Bunker Secure Hosting Ltd. It lies 3 km from a 33 kV substation and is in an area of high water stress.
Power and water
The nearest substation is St Johns Primary, a 33 kV primary substation run by Southern Electric Power Distribution plc, 3 km away. Its network operator publishes 4.6 MVA of demand headroom and 0 MW of generation headroom there, and the network there is not congested for new demand.
No power plant of 50 MW or more is in operation within 10 km, in the plant registers we hold.
Water stress here is high: withdrawals take 52.2% of the renewable water supply of its sub-basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, baseline, score 3.4 of 5).
Distances run between the points of the records. How the grid and plants nearby are found; water stress from WRI Aqueduct 4.0.
