Ravenscraig could be turned into one of the UK's biggest green AI data centres, under new plans put forward by a renewable energy developer.
The former steelworks would become a data centre with battery energy storage, using a "supply of renewables".
Developer Apatura say the £3.9bn proposal would create around 2400 jobs, of which 1044 would be permanent North Lanarkshire jobs, with 440 considered onsite roles.
An independent socio-economic study calculated the centre would contribute an additional 0.4% to Scotland's annual GDP once in use.
The plan is currently being considered by the UK government for support via its AI Growth Zone initiative, aimed at identifying the best sites in Britain for AI projects.
