"Two years after lining up a 600-acre addition to its sprawling data center hub in eastern Henrico, industry giant QTS is moving forward with plans that would add 17 data centers across that site and another sizeable tract near its Richmond homebase at White Oak Technology Park. QTS is moving forward with two campus expansions that would add 1,100 acres to its footprint in Varina. The 17 new buildings across the two campuses would total nearly 8 million square feet of data center space, adding to over 3 million square feet that QTS has already built at White Oak." #DigitalInfrastructure #HyperscaleDataCenter #TechExpansion https://lnkd.in/ebqUBQAR

“LACYLAKEVIEW, Texas (KWTX) - A proposed $10 billion data center in the Waco area moved closer to reality after InfraKey Capital filed a petition asking Waco to release more than 500 acres of land from its extraterritorial jurisdiction north of Lacy Lakeview. The petition targets 521 acres along Taylor Lane, sitting inside Waco’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. InfraKey Capital filed the petition last month asking Waco to release the land, a move that would open the door for Lacy Lakeview to annex it.” #InfraKeyCapital #Hyperscale #DigitalInfrastructure #AIInfrastructure #CloudComputing https://lnkd.in/eR2pcDSt

"The tech giant has spoken to SpaceX and others about future launches for its Project Suncatcher initiative, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Seeking Alpha. Launched in November 2025, Project Suncatcher is Google's new moonshot to one day bring scaled machine learning to space. “Working backward from this potential future, we’re exploring how an interconnected network of solar-powered satellites, equipped with our Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) AI chips, could harness the full power of the Sun,” Google said at the time." #FutureOfCompute #Hyperscale #SatelliteTechnology #SpaceInfrastructure #MachineLearning #SolarPowered https://lnkd.in/epcxbTty

"The rapid rise of AI-driven data centers is as much about power as it is about technology. These facilities don’t exist without energy, and as demand for compute increases, so does electricity demand. In that sense, data centers are simply a new kind of load – one growing faster than almost anything the grid has seen before. From the solar side, this dynamic should feel familiar. More demand drives more generation. As data centers expand, they create new opportunities for renewables and storage, but also introduce constraints around grid capacity and infrastructure. That’s why energy and data are converging, and why the solar industry has something valuable to contribute." #BatteryStorage #PoweringAI #GridCapacity #DigitalInfrastructure #AICompute #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Hyperscale #FutureOfEnergy https://lnkd.in/eUReNQsb

"But what about a data center literally in the backyard? A startup called Span has partnered with chip giant Nvidia to install small data centers in Americans' homes. These “distributed data centers” could work together to achieve the same end results as today’s large-scale facilities, powering AI and cloud gaming, Span says. Launched in 2018, Span produces smart electrical panels that can provide granular breakdowns of household energy usage—for example, how much electricity a refrigerator consumes. The new solution, which it calls XFRA, reportedly uses the built-in intelligence of Span's smart electrical panels to tap additional electrical service capacity from the existing grid. The company says it does not expect these mini data centers to replace traditional large-scale facilities, but rather to provide a “low-cost, low-latency solution that can scale quickly” amid record AI demand." #DistributedDataCenters #TechInfrastructure #GridInnovation #NextGenInfrastructure #ComputeAtTheEdge https://lnkd.in/ga7RPUNd

Proposed is a $1.6-billion, 150-megawatt data center campus comprised of three buildings set on 35 acres currently owned by Morabito Enterprises, a longtime trucking firm with an address of 3560 E. 55th St. Morabito has been trying to sell its property off-market in recent years. Seeking the data center campus is Lakeland Equity Group led by Managing Director Sam Khouri whose family has been involved in many aspects of real estate in Greater Cleveland and beyond. Other partners also have strong real estate and financial backgrounds but not specifically when it comes to data centers. #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #DigitalInfrastructure #Hyperscale #DataCenterDevelopmen https://lnkd.in/eFaAhBjy

"For the past two decades, data center development strategy followed a relatively predictable curve. Workloads expanded steadily, rack densities rose incrementally and infrastructure design evolved in measured cycles. AI broke that rhythm. In the span of just a few years, we’ve seen U.S. data center demand surge to record levels, with annual leasing activity reaching historic highs and forecasts pointing even higher. Gigascale-level campuses, or environments capable of delivering gigawatt-level IT capacity, that once seemed extraordinary are now becoming the norm." #MissionCritical #CloudInfrastructure #AIRevolution #ComputeInfrastructure #DataCenterDesign #NextGenInfrastructure #TechInfrastructure https://lnkd.in/eKuMPfqr

“A project billed as one of the biggest deals to ever blow through Utah hinges on a single vote in Box Elder County. On Monday, the county’s three commissioners are set to decide whether to approve a “hyperscale” data center and energy project backed by the Military Installation Development Authority and investor Kevin O’Leary, after postponing the decision last week amid pressure from protesters urging caution and state leaders calling for a faster timeline.” #DataCenters #Hyperscale #EnergyProject #Infrastructure https://lnkd.in/dautXVFH

"Close on the heels of a report that OpenAI has missed revenue targets and may not be able to pay its future bills, compute partner Oracle is keeping calm and carrying on with a massive new datacenter complex in the New Mexico desert. It seems like founder and chairman Larry Ellison is less concerned about whether Sam Altman can afford rent at the complex, than figuring out how to power it. This week, the database giant announced an expanded collaboration with Bloom Energy to deploy 2.45 gigawatts — the equivalent of two or three nuclear reactors — of fuel cell generators alongside the datacenter complex. Previously, Oracle had committed to purchasing 1.2 gigawatts of Bloom fuel cells with the option to expand to 2.8 gigawatts." #BloomEnergy #FuelCells #EnergyInfrastructure #AICompute #DigitalInfrastructure https://lnkd.in/exmw_vWC
