What is changing

Five things shaping how AI data center sites are chosen.

  • Power density is rising

    AI workloads need more power in a smaller footprint.

  • Fiber and cooling matter more

    Networks and high-density cooling become core requirements.

  • Time to power decides

    How fast power can arrive shapes site choice.

  • Certainty adds value

    Permits, local support and site control speed up delivery.

  • Land must grow with power

    The core site needs room to expand as capacity grows.
