Excellent planning
The coal fired part of Didcot A shut in 2013 and is now demolished, but the gas turbine was retained as a backup and can still supply the grid.
The 1997 gas turbine at Didcot B is still running.
Didcot is very handy for all the compute needs of Oxford (just north), Culham & Milton Park (next door) and Harwell, including Rutherford Appleton Lab and Diamond Light Source (just south).
It's usefully close to the Reading/Bracknell/Basingstoke area, not forgetting Aldermaston.
There are many tech-qualified people in the area; while Didcot / Sutton Courtney has recently spawned a huge amount of housing for tech and non-tech staff.
If I was setting up a big data centre, Didcot is *exactly* where I'd put it.
