More flour than flavour. There's a bagel in here, just not much of one.
Summary
ILI Group has submitted a planning application for Cato, a proposed 600MW hyperscale data centre near Auchtertool in Fife, Scotland. The project represents an investment of around £5 billion and would be delivered in phases over several years. It would serve as the flagship development within The Stoics, ILI Group's planned network of large-scale data centres across Scotland's Central Belt, designed to support growing demand for AI, cloud computing, and digital services. Independent analysis suggests construction could generate approximately £708 million in Gross Value Added (GVA) across Scotland.
