In 2025, the U.S. data center boom isn’t being held back by demand; it’s being held back by power. Everyone wants more computing power, but projects hit the same wall of grid constraints: substation capacity, crowded interconnection queues, and transmission upgrades that can take years, shrinking the number of sites that can actually get energized on schedule. The successful developers aren’t just the ones with the biggest checks but they’re the ones who lock in land with rea
