David Sleath, chief executive of Segro, emphasized that "the single biggest constraint is access to power," which complicates investment in datacenters despite high demand for such facilities.
Sleath mentioned, "In some cases, Segro's development teams face a wait of 'a number of years' for local substations to be upgraded," indicating significant delays due to infrastructure shortcomings.
A recent report found that power shortages were the top concern across datacenter companies in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific, highlighting a global trend.
The Bain & Company report cautioned that utility companies are struggling with demand from datacenter expansions, suggesting that energy supply could not keep pace with rising consumption.
