Power
The megawatt needs a delivery date
Data center power is a question of timing and location as well as quantity. Grid access, facility demand and flexibility need to be read together.

Data center power and grid connections
From a grid connection to a working rack.
Power coverage starts with a deceptively simple question: what electricity will actually be available, where and when? A project announcement, a connection agreement and an operating facility describe different stages.
We follow the chain from the grid to the equipment, and from design intent to commissioning. The aim is to make capacity claims readable and to show which assumptions a reader should ask an operator, utility or supplier to explain.
Compute
An AI factory is still a place.
The phrase draws attention to what a building produces. Independent figures show how fast that part of the industry is growing, and how much data center electricity the IEA expects to remain outside it in 2030.
Operations
The pump is running. Why is the rack getting hotter?
An imagined commissioning test shows the gap between a pump that runs and cooling that arrives.
