US data center power demand is growing at 19% annually, far outpacing the electricity grid's 2% growth, causing significant delays in build times and forcing data centers to operate their own power solutions, which introduces new insurance and operational risks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Proptech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face longer delays and higher costs because data centers now compete with grid capacity. Prepare to invest in self-generation or new partnerships to keep your project viable.
