Marshall & Stevens hosted a two-part virtual series, the Data Centers Forum, uniting industry leaders to explore the forces shaping the future of digital infrastructure. The sessions, Part One: Power, Financing & Alternative Investments and Part Two: Construction, Infrastructure, Energy, Cooling & Connectivity, examined how energy availability, cost, and reliability have become the defining factors for data center viability and investment strategy.
Key discussions focused on financing and investor dynamics as well as operational innovations like modular construction, efficient cooling, and integrated energy systems. Across both sessions, experts emphasized that power scarcity is the ultimate constraint on data center expansion, making creative financing, technological adaptability, and sustainable energy solutions essential for continued growth.
