Format
US hyperscalers keep expanding, but midterm-driven backlash may raise costs and delay permits for later-stage projects.
Key Highlights
- Strong Buildout: Hyperscalers keep adding capacity, led by AWS in PJM.
- Rising Backlash: States shift from tax breaks to siting limits.
- Election Risk: Governors' freezes and curbs may tighten rules.
- Proactive Response: Hyperscalers absorb costs; delays hit later projects.
