Common questions

What is Loughton II?
Loughton II is an AI data center campus tracked on the DEPLOY registry, located in Loughton. DEPLOY records its capacity as a dated, sourced ledger: announced gigawatts versus actually energized gigawatts, never a press-release total.
Who is building Loughton II?
Nscale is recorded as a party to Loughton II on the DEPLOY registry. The full party list, with each role, is on the record.
Is Loughton II operating yet?
As of the most recent verification on the DEPLOY registry, Loughton II is announced but not yet built. DEPLOY tracks the lifecycle from announced through energized, so the current state reflects sourced evidence, not the original announcement.
How verified is the data on Loughton II?
A human editor has reviewed this record for the indexed registry. Every capacity figure is an append-only, dated claim resolved to the highest-evidence tier; superseded claims are kept but excluded from the current view.
