微软已退出与英国云计算公司Nscale在英国的数据中心项目协议，英国《每日电讯报》周日报道。根据《每日电讯报》的报道，这家美国科技巨头最近终止了其在埃塞克斯郡卢顿的数据中心协议。微软是Nscale的两大客户之一。《每日电讯报》未说明微软决定退出该项目的原因，路透社报道。Nscale数据中心面临供电延迟Nscale据称在开发卢顿数据中心时遇到了多次延迟。
Microsoft has pulled out of an agreement with British cloud computing company Nscale for a data center project in the UK, Britain's The Telegraph newspaper reported on Sunday. The US technology giant recently terminated its agreement for a data center in Loughton, Essex, according to The Telegraph. Microsoft was one of Nscale's two largest customers. The Telegraph did not specify why Microsoft decided to leave the project, Reuters reported. Nscale data center faces power supply delaysNscale has reportedly faced several delays in developing the Loughton data center.
《每日电讯报》报道称，这些延迟引发了人们对该设施何时能够投入运营的担忧。国家电网官员据称告诉Nscale，他们预计要到2030年代才能向该数据中心供电，《每日电讯报》报道。这凸显了该项目面临的主要挑战，因为数据中心需要可靠的电力供应才能运行。Nscale称与微软的关系仍然牢固尽管有报道称微软退出了卢顿项目的协议，但Nscale表示其与微软的更广泛关系仍然积极。
The delays have raised concerns about when the facility will be ready to operate, according to The Telegraph. National power grid officials reportedly told Nscale that they did not expect to supply electricity to the data center until the 2030s, The Telegraph reported. This points to a major challenge for the project, as data centers need a reliable power supply to operate. Nscale says Microsoft relationship remains strongDespite the reported withdrawal from the Loughton deal, Nscale said its wider relationship with Microsoft remains positive.
一位Nscale发言人对路透社表示：“我们与微软的关系依然牢固且长期。”该公司表示，影响伦敦地区的电力供应问题不会影响其其他协议。“这一不幸的伦敦范围内的电网问题不会对我们的其他合同产生影响，”发言人对路透社表示。Nscale在英国探索替代电力来源该公司表示，它仍致力于卢顿项目和英国。它正在为该地点探索替代电力来源，同时也在探索全国范围内其他用于扩张的地点。
"Our relationship with Microsoft remains strong and long-term," an Nscale spokesperson told Reuters. The company said the electricity supply problem affecting the London area would not impact its other agreements. "This unfortunate London-wide grid issue has no impact on our other contracts," the spokesperson told Reuters. Nscale explores alternative power sources in UKThe company said it remains committed to the Loughton project and the UK. It is exploring alternative sources of electricity for the site, along with other locations for expansion across the country.

过去两年半，该公司业务快速扩张。其总合同价值从1亿美元增长至超过1030亿美元。随着电力供应仍是数据中心开发的挑战，该公司撤回了项目。卢顿站点获取电力的报告延迟凸显了电力可用性对大型数据中心项目的重要性。Nscale表示，即使微软据称已终止该项目的协议，公司仍在继续探索替代电力来源和其他英国扩张站点。
The company has expanded sharply over the past two-and-a-half years. Its total contracted value grew from $100 million to more than $103 billion during that period. The withdrawal comes as power supply remains a challenge for data center development. The reported delay in securing electricity for the Loughton site highlights the importance of power availability for large data center projects. Nscale says it is continuing to explore alternative power sources and other UK expansion sites, even as Microsoft has reportedly ended its agreement for the project.
