Nscale said it remained committed to building a £2bn AI data centre in Loughton
A tech company has said it still plans to build the UK's largest AI data centre despite Microsoft pulling out of the project.
Nscale announced last year it had pledged £2bn to build and open a pioneering facility in Loughton, Essex.
However, the BBC understands that Microsoft, which said it would fund a supercomputer at the site, has terminated its involvement.
A spokesperson for Nscale said it was exploring alternative power sources and its relationship with Microsoft remained strong for their other projects together overseas. Microsoft declined to comment.
