What questions do you have for Scottish AI data centre developers?

NEXT week we are running a mini-series investigating the AI hyperscale data centre boom in Scotland.

You can expect plenty of stories from us from Monday, August 24, setting out what AI data centres are for, concerns that campaigners have, and looking into detail at their environmental impact.

There are 23 sites across Scotland currently identified for development of AI data centres, and 20 of those are already in the planning system.

As part of the series we invited ILI Group, who are the developers behind three AI data centre sites across the central belt of Scotland, for a podcast interview to answer readers burning questions.

ILI Group's CEO Mark Wilson and Planning Manager Greig Templeton have agreed to join us in the studio next week.

ILI group are the developers behind three planned AI data centres in the central belt: Cato in Auchtertool, Fife, Aurelius in Newhouse (between Chapelhall and Holytown), North Lanarkshire, and Rufus, near Hurlford in East Ayrshire.

So what would you want us to ask them? What burning questions do you have about the developments ILI Group are proposing, or the impact of AI data centres across Scotland? Leave your name and question below.
