These actions get us to the 100s may be the 1,000s.To get further though I need to be involved in the leadership of change.

By leadership, I do not mean getting others to do things..I am talking about developing new, fresh leading ideas and using know-how, skill and energy to make things happen.I am talking about ambition, scale and the courage to be at the front of the pack, not hanging back and waiting to see what might be popular, what others might do, it is about forging a way forward ahead of current thinking with ambitions and aspirations beyond those of the current trends.. “The ability of an individual or a group of people to influence organisations and society.“.

How could every building be carbon neutral, how could we replace every coal and gas power station?These ideas are part of leadership but I believe leadership needs to go further than influence.

The ambition needs to link the influence with the capability and energy to deliver..

DCs and the wider data infrastructure are increasingly being seen as critical national infrastructure, alongside energy, telecommunications, water and waste systems..The hunger for reliable power is driving a move towards on-site power generation and the diversification of power-sellers and other companies to invest directly in distribution infrastructure.

The hope is they can do it more quickly than state-run projects..Available, reliable power is certainly a key driver in finding locations for DCs.
