AI Overview: (irony is ironic 😼)
Over 140 nations host operational data centers worldwide, but the massive, gigawatt-scale campuses for AI and cloud are primarily led by 30 to 40 highly digitalized nations. The United States dominates, while China, Germany, the U.K., Japan, France, Canada, India, and Australia lead an unprecedented GLOBAL DATA CENTER Boom.
Nearly 3,000 new data centers are currently under construction or planned across the United States, with over 1,500 in various stages of active development nationwide. This massive buildout is largely driven by the explosive demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
Texas: 140 data centers under construction
Virginia: 136 data centers under construction
Georgia: 56 projects under construction
Ohio: 51 projects under construction
Globally, the sector is experiencing unprecedented expansion, with companies expected to invest nearly $7 trillion in building and upgrading data centers between now and 2030 to support an expected tripling of digital demand.
2030, eh? 🤔🤔🤔
