Data Center Intelligence

Operator profiles, facility dossiers, and behind-the-meter power strategy for the US data center buildout. Track hyperscale, colocation, and AI campus expansion in real time with verified capacity and interconnection data.

Operators

Profiles of major US data center operators, their fleets, expansion strategies, and power procurement posture.

• EXA Infrastructure

Markets

Market-level analysis of data center supply, demand, vacancy, pricing, and grid constraints across primary and emerging US metros. Each market record carries operational capacity, capacity under construction, absorption, average asking rate, utility provider, average power cost, and the interconnection wait in months — the last figure being the one that decides whether a project can rely on the grid at all.

Power Strategy

Median interconnection queues in major US markets run five to seven years, which is why behind-the-meter generation has moved from contingency to base case on large campuses. The library exists to make that decision quantitative: where load is being added, what the local grid can actually deliver, and which operators are already building their own generation.

Technology selection runs through the Power Intelligence Tool, which compares solid oxide fuel cells, aeroderivative gas turbines, reciprocating gas engines, diesel generators, and solar plus storage on twenty-year net present value, time to power, and fleet availability computed from unit count and forced-outage rate rather than vendor datasheets.

Equipment Sourcing

Once the technology is settled, model-level detail sits in the equipment marketplace: gas turbines, generators, fuel cells, transformers, switchgear, and UPS systems. Four-tier price bands — New OEM, Gray Market, Refurbished, and Used — are published in the Pricing Index, and acquisition capital is arranged through equipment financing.

How This Data Is Maintained

Facility and operator records combine public filings, utility interconnection dockets, operator disclosures, and permit records. Every figure is a stored value with a recorded source and as-of date; nothing is estimated into a blank field. Collection and verification rules are documented on the methodology page, and analysis built on this dataset is published in articles and reports.
