Data Centres & Capacity
Who is building, where, and how much of it actually lands.
AI gets written about as software. It is being built as power stations, substations and concrete. This is the brief on that build-out, and what it costs.

Every issue opens with one story taken apart — what happened, what it actually means, and what it changes for you. Then six sections of the build-out.
01
Who is building, where, and how much of it actually lands.
02
Megawatts, substations, connection queues and water.
03
Regions, quotas, neoclouds and what capacity really costs.
04
Silicon, fabs, interconnect and the supply behind them.
05
The AI Act, data rules, and what they do to deployment.
06
The capital moving into infrastructure, and from whom.
What the analysis reads like
The lead story
“Data centre growth is constrained by energy availability and regulatory compliance, not just capital.”
Who writes it
AI infrastructure & data centre advisor
I advise on AI infrastructure and data centres, and I write this because the coverage kept missing the constraint. Everyone reports the funding round. Far fewer ask whether the site has a grid connection, or when.
Close enough to the ecosystem to understand it. Far enough outside it to see the patterns forming around it.
