Organisational Structure

The Mills Network is not organised around individual facilities or short-term delivery programmes. Its structure is designed to support coordination across sites, jurisdictions, and operational partners over extended timeframes.

Rather than operating as a vertically integrated operator, the Network functions as a coordinating body. It establishes shared standards, aligns planning processes, and maintains continuity across infrastructure lifecycles that exceed the scope of any single project or operator.

This approach allows the Network to remain adaptable to regional conditions while preserving system-wide coherence.

The organisation is structured around a set of functional domains rather than traditional departmental silos. These domains reflect the enduring responsibilities required to plan, operate, and sustain large-scale compute infrastructure.

Responsibility within the Mills Network is intentionally distributed. Decision-making authority is aligned with the scale and impact of each issue, ensuring that local operational knowledge informs site-level activity while system-wide considerations remain coordinated.

This structure reduces reliance on centralised command while preserving accountability and coherence across the Network.

Where appropriate, the Network operates through formal agreements with operating partners, public entities, and service providers rather than direct managerial control.

The organisational structure maintains a clear separation between strategic coordination, operational execution, and oversight. This separation is intended to support transparency, resilience, and long-term legitimacy.

Strategic planning functions focus on long-horizon capacity, system integration, and alignment with external constraints. Operational responsibilities are carried out by dedicated teams and partners with site-specific expertise.

Oversight and accountability arrangements are described in further detail under Governance Overview.
