North America remains one of the most mature and capital-rich data center markets globally, yet growth is increasingly shaped by structural constraints rather than demand. Power availability, network readiness, and resource pressures are emerging as critical bottlenecks, whilst community resistance, proposed moratoriums and supply chain challenges are adding new layers of complexity for investors and operators. In some cases, infrastructure is being built faster than it can be powered or connected, creating inefficiencies across the system. Join this episode to discuss:
- How power constraints and grid delays are delaying project timelines and facility go-lives
- The risks of misaligned development between power and network infrastructure
- The growing influence of water stress and community opposition on site selection and project viability
- Where growth is shifting, and which emerging regions are expanding quicker than traditional hubs
