Prologis proposes a 516,000 sq ft, 99 MW data center in South San Jose with coordinated PG&E grid expansion (doubled to 80 MW substation capacity). The project signals accelerating infrastructure investment to support AI/compute demand in the Bay Area's prime industrial zone.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure and Cloud Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Major real estate player co-investing in transmission infrastructure to unlock 99 MW data center capacity signals tightening compute supply and rising power grid investment as hard constraint for AI workload placement — founders competing for colocation and power should track Silicon Valley substation expansion timelines.
