Global Data Center News
This section covers data centers — cloud computing facilities, hyperscaler campuses, power and cooling infrastructure, location and permitting decisions and the outages and capacity constraints that make the industry news. Coverage spans the facilities, the power and permitting questions around them and the outages and capacity events that make infrastructure news.

Statewide reporting centres on new campus announcements, power purchase agreements, water and cooling system decisions, permitting and land-use proceedings, cloud outage incidents and the technology choices — from chip selection to building design — that shape facility performance and operating cost. Power consumption has become one of the most consequential subjects in data center coverage, as the energy demands of large computing facilities intersect with grid capacity, renewable energy commitments and local utility relationships. Location decisions involve incentives, tax arrangements, permitting timelines and fiber connectivity, making site selection a story that crosses economic development, real estate and technology coverage. Hyperscaler concentration — a small number of companies operating a large share of global cloud infrastructure — has become a recurring subject in antitrust and supply chain coverage that extends well beyond the facilities themselves.
