Where to Build Next: Looking at Site Selection, Compliance, Energy Infrastructure and Power Capacity Across Markets
As demand for capacity accelerates across California and the broader West Coast, operators are grappling with complex regulatory environments, rising land and energy costs, and constraints on available power. With California’s ambitious climate and energy goals, grid reliability challenges, and ongoing permitting hurdles, how are data center developers and service providers evaluating where to build next—and how to secure and deliver the power needed to scale operations sustainably?

Building at Speed and Scale: How Construction and Development is Keeping Up With Big Demand
With gigawatt being the new megawatt, the size and scale of data centers are heading to another level. Alongside the prioritization of capacity is speed and how fast these buildings can be up and running to service their customers. So how are companies adapting to meet growing demand, build at scale and at a rapid pace? What is the state of the supply chain?
