GW announced over time, $/MW intensity, operator concentration

Capacity coming online by year

Stacked bars: critical IT MW with COD (commercial operation date) in each year. Includes both operational and under-construction sites in dataset.

Cumulative GW (IT load)

Running total — what the AI capex wave looks like on a stack.

$/MW intensity by operator

Cost per MW reveals fit-out density: AI-heavy builds (HBM, liquid cooling) cluster ~$13–18M/MW; hyperscaler builds ~$8–11M/MW; colos ~$7–10M/MW.

Operator concentration (GW)

Balancing Authority concentration (GW)

Where the grid pressure is.

PJM capacity auction prices

Cleanest single number for grid scarcity driven by DC demand.

Hyperscaler quarterly capex ($B)

Stacked bars across MSFT, GOOG, META, AMZN, ORCL. Q4'24 → Q1'26 = $78B → $159B/quarter. 2026 consensus ~$700B annualized.

Public-equity universe exposed to DC capex

Tickers grouped by leverage to the buildout — power gen, regulated utilities, electrical equipment, gensets, AI chips, DC REITs, AI clouds, BTC pivots, fiber/interconnect.
