North America’s data centre capacity crunch is becoming structural A compelling story by Paul Barker in CIO Online on how new data centre construction is slowing even as demand continues to surge. The link to the story is attached, but for deeper analysis on this topic, head over to greyhoundresearch.com. Below is a snapshot of what we at Greyhound Research had to say on the topic. According to Greyhound Research, enterprises must assume structurally elevated pricing for North American data centre capacity through at least 2029, and possibly longer. Vacancy at or near 1 to 2 percent is not a temporary imbalance. It is a signal that supply elasticity has broken. When over 90 percent of capacity under construction is already precommitted, new entrants are negotiating from a position of structural scarcity, not market equilibrium. At approximately $195 per kilowatt per month as a market reference point, one megawatt translates into roughly $2.3 to $2.5 million annually in capacity rent alone, before energy, connectivity, cross connects, fit out, or managed services. At 10 megawatts, annual exposure crosses $25 million quickly and can move toward $30 to $35 million under sustained rent growth trajectories. The deeper issue is compounding. Even moderate rent growth produces meaningful cumulative exposure across multi year planning cycles. At the same time energy intensity is rising because AI workloads are more power dense. Rack densities are increasing, cooling requirements are shifting toward liquid systems, and power per square foot is no longer stable. Construction has slowed not because demand disappeared but because physical infrastructure realities have overtaken financial capital as the dominant gating factor. Interconnection timelines that once required under two years now commonly take four to five years or more in certain regions. Transmission upgrades, transformer lead times, and stricter permitting scrutiny extend development cycles further. The implication for enterprises planning North American data centre expansion is straightforward. Expansion is possible. Casual expansion is not. The data centre market is no longer primarily a real estate story. It is an energy systems story, a grid planning story, and a capital discipline story. https://lnkd.in/gd7H-TDv #GreyhoundStandpoint #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #NorthAmerica #DigitalInfrastructure #CIO

Jensen Huang recently shared that individual rack densities could approach megawatt levels in the next several years. That’s a massive shift, and it reinforces something we’ve long known at Aligned Data Centers: adaptability isn’t optional anymore. It’s a must-have. Our CTO Michael Welch shared his perspective in Data Center Knowledge on how adaptive modular infrastructure helps us and our customers stay ahead: - We manufacture core power, cooling, and network modules offsite, reducing onsite labor requirements by 30%. - Modular architecture allows teams to scale capacity incrementally, reconfigure layouts on demand, and integrate next-gen hardware without costly retrofits. - Precision prefabrication minimizes material waste and carbon emissions, helping us advance toward our net-zero sustainability goals. - Strategic supply chain partnerships and pre-purchasing ensure component availability and cost predictability. As AI and cloud technologies continue to accelerate, the future of digital infrastructure will be shaped by its ability to adapt and innovate. Proud of the Aligned team for turning these principles into action every day. Read Michael’s full article here: https://lnkd.in/d4NzqZ9j
