A recently licensed onshore gas field in the UK could host data centers in the future.
Reabold Resources received an Environmental Agency permit in February 2026 for recompletion works at the West Newton A-2 well outside Hull in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Reabold told DCD it is currently in discussions with data center firms to co-locate a data center on site. The firm said the development could scale up to 100MW, with more than 20 years of potential energy production.
The company said the project is a “unique opportunity” to be the UK’s – and possibly Europe’s – first wellhead-to-data center project. Reabold hasn’t named the potential end users it is in discussions with, but is reportedly open to varying deal structures depending on the customer.
