Microsoft has withdrawn from a deal with UK-based AI startup Nscale to serve as the anchor tenant at its planned data center in Loughton, Essex. The move comes amidst repeated delays in the project due to power supply issues. The data center, which was expected to house over 23,000 Nvidia AI chips, is now left without its main customer. Nscale, which is preparing for an IPO, remains committed to the project and is exploring alternative power sources and additional sites in the UK.
