AI data centers are scaling at a pace that’s reshaping infrastructure markets

—massive CapEx, specialized design requirements, and financing structures that look increasingly like large-scale industrial projects.


  • Data centers are rapidly evolving into energy plays, where power availability, pricing, and reliability can determine whether a site is viable at all.
  • Uptime is the defining metric—and every minute of downtime can translate into millions in losses, penalties, and reputational damage.
  • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are already everywhere in data centers, but they’re typically designed and financed as backup assets—sized mainly to bridge to secondary generation, and amortized over 10–15 years.
  • Regulatory and market pressure for carbon neutrality and self-sufficiency is accelerating fast, with the EU leading the push—yet existing backup-focused BESS isn’t built (or economically sized) to store meaningful renewable energy.
  • Storage technology is improving quickly and costs are dropping, putting solar PV + storage on track to become the lowest-cost power option in many markets.
  • As PV + storage becomes cheaper and more capable, today’s “backup-only” BESS configurations risk becoming obsolete, creating potential stress for facilities whose debt financing assumes long-lived, stable asset value.
  • The opportunity: a future where it’s cheaper to generate electricity on-site (PV, wind, biomass) than to buy from a utility—unlocking energy independence as a strategic advantage for data centers.
