The concept brings together local onsite natural gas production, on-site power generation and data centre infrastructure, exploring the potential to use locally produced gas to support dedicated electricity generation for digital infrastructure. Kent's scope included feasibility-stage design for the gas processing and gas-to-power facilities, power generation and on-site power distribution and switchgear systems., co-located data centre and associated infrastructure, together with environmental and consenting input and capital and operating cost estimates to provide an integrated basis for the client’s next stage of project assessment. ## The Challenge Developing an integrated gas-to-power and data centre concept requires careful consideration of multiple interconnected infrastructure systems, each with distinct technical, environmental and regulatory requirements. The proposed development encompasses three key elements: upstream gas production, on-site electricity generation and a co-located data centre. Each falls under different regulatory frameworks, requiring a coordinated approach to early-stage design and development planning. The challenge was to assess these interconnected elements at feasibility stage while supporting the client's controlled, stage-gated approach to project development. ## The Solution The client’s integration and project management specialists, Kent brought together experts across gas, power generation, electrical infrastructure, data centres and environment to assess how the development would work as an integrated system. This multidisciplinary approach enabled the interfaces, dependencies and development constraints across the proposed facilities to be considered within a single feasibility-stage study. The scope included: - Gas-to-power facility: Feasibility-stage assessment and design for the proposed on-site gas production and power generation facility. - Electrical infrastructure: Substation design to support the development's proposed on-site power distribution and switchgear infrastructure. - Data centre: Feasibility-stage design for the co-located data centre and its associated infrastructure, considering its power demand, resilience requirements and interfaces with the proposed generation and electrical systems. - Environmental support: Specialist input to support consideration of environmental requirements during early-stage development. - Project economics: Integrated assessment of the technical concept and its economic drivers to help the client understand development options, key sensitivities and the basis for further investment evaluation. - By bringing these disciplines together, Kent provided a coordinated view of the complete energy and digital infrastructure development concept. ## The Outcome Kent successfully completed its Stage 1 feasibility-stage design, environmental and economic scope, providing the client with an integrated technical and economics base to inform further project evaluation and development planning. The completed work supports the project's stage-gated development process, helping the client progress its assessment of the proposed gas-to-power and co-located data centre concept. The project demonstrates Kent's ability to combine expertise across gas production and processing, power generation, electrical systems and digital infrastructure, supporting clients in evaluating complex, multidisciplinary developments from the earliest stages with technical feasibility and commercial value considered together rather than as separate workstreams.
