VIRTUS secures £2.45B expansion financing

VIRTUS Data Centres secured a £2.45 billion financing package from 13 banks, including £1.2 billion in green capex facilities, to expand across the UK and Europe. The financing package names a 78 MW AI-ready Saunderton campus and LONDON19 in Slough, but discloses no further terms, so the headline is committed funding—not delivered capacity. Cloud buyers tracking European GPU supply should compare this roadmap with Alibaba’s 9.7% regional expansion and ask for site-level power, service, and commissioning dates before treating lender confidence as capacity.
