Go West! US datacentres head for available and cheap energy | Computer Weekly
"As infrastructure constraints intensify and market dynamics continue to shift, hyperscale providers are increasingly reallocating capital toward central US regions, with Texas emerging as the primary focal point."
"A new wave of GW-scale campuses is taking shape in non-traditional locations such as Abilene, Mount Pleasant, South Bend, El Paso, Boone County and Kansas City."
"While established hubs will remain strategically important, the centre of gravity for new hyperscale investment is clearly moving elsewhere."
The US datacentre construction landscape is changing, with a significant shift towards central states like Texas. This change is driven by the availability of power and advancements in technologies that reduce water usage. Analysts report that 1,360 operational datacentre sites exist in the US, with 437 more proposed.
