Due to the voracious appetite for AI, the demand for critical data center infrastructure continues to outstrip supply. The focus is often placed on chip supply when, in fact, the actual bottleneck in AI deployment is the lack of power-ready infrastructure.
The solution is to locate and negotiate access to "stranded power" assets, underutilized or abandoned electrical capacity that can be rapidly repurposed for data center operations. The promised electrical capacity and timeline certainty of these assets can be guaranteed before construction begins with power placement agreements (PPAs).
Alphabet is planning to spend $75 billion on data center infrastructure this year, Microsoft has committed $80 billion, and Amazon is committing $20 billion to Pennsylvania alone. The U.S. data center construction market is projected to grow from USD 48.18 billion in 2024 to USD 112.33 billion by 2030, a 15.15% CAGR.
hi-tequity has revolutionized the deployment of hyperscale facilities by delivering fully operational 100-megawatt data centers in just nine months, curtailing the industry standard of 24-42 months through their power-first methodology and procurement strategy.
