Power Over Property: Are Energy Developers the New Landlords of the Data Centre Market?
5 November 2026 Has the traditional sequence of data centre development broken down? Historically, a real estate operator would secure a site, build a concrete shell, and request a grid connection from the local utility – but with power grids across Europe operating near physical capacity, has the queue for connection become the primary bottleneck…
