We can’t build data centers fast enough. A quick Google search shows over 2,700 new data centers are planned or currently under construction across the U.S. in 2026, ranging from small edge sites to co-location facilities and hyperscale campuses. This unprecedented expansion is being fueled by the rapid adoption of AI, machine learning, cloud and streaming workloads. These applications require huge quantities of electricity to power and cool the vast arrays of computers, data storage and networking resources that run them.
