This week's data center news highlights the extreme measures the industry is taking to power the AI computing surge. To address the massive energy demands, Fermi Inc. is making a bold, multi-billion dollar commitment by ordering four large nuclear reactors to create its 11 GW "HyperGrid" campus in Texas, The AI race is simultaneously transforming the hardware market, with Qualcomm aggressively re-entering the data center space via new AI-focused chips and rack-level systems d

The U.S. data center sector continued its rapid expansion in Q3 2025, driven by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, 5G, and digital services. Total energy consumption reached an estimated 250 terawatt-hours, roughly 11% of national electricity usage. With a 9GW in planned projects seen over this quarter in Northern Virginia alone, data center development is expected to exceed 30GW by the end of the decade. Despite unprecedented construction

The economic viability of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is fundamentally dependent on location. As BESS assets increasingly participate in wholesale electricity markets (providing grid resilience, peak shaving, and energy arbitrage) developers require granular, data-driven tools to accurately forecast revenue streams. Analyzing the Locational Marginal Price (LMP)  volatility at specific nodes is essential for assessing where a project can achieve optimal financial re

This week's data center news highlights the intense pressure and shifting dynamics within the industry, underscoring the critical need for strategic planning in power, resiliency, and community engagement . NVIDIA's achievement of 100% renewable electricity  across its operations sets a new sustainability benchmark for the AI chip sector, signaling that clean energy is now a competitive necessity for major AI infrastructure clients. Concurrently, the AWS outage in Northern Vi

The global data center industry is undergoing a massive transformation, driven primarily by the explosive growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI), creating urgent demands for revolutionary power solutions and infrastructure. Recent major industry developments underscore this shift: Brookfield Asset Management is investing up to $5 billion to deploy Bloom Energy's on-site fuel cells, providing a rapidly deployable, behind-the-meter alternative to the aging grid. This move, alon

In the race to build the next generation of data centers, success hinges on three things: power, land, and connectivity . While power and land are often the primary focus, the "C" in that equation—connectivity—is becoming the ultimate differentiator. Enter dark fiber. What Is Dark Fiber? Think of dark fiber as the ultimate in private connectivity. While a managed, or "lit," fiber service is like leasing a lane on a highway with a speed limit, dark fiber  is the unpaved road y
