Format
Post-midterm moratorium pledges in key states raise delay risk for 2028+ US data center builds; hyperscalers are best placed to adapt.
Key Highlights
- Risk Timing: Impact centers on 2028+ plans; most 2027 projects are already underway.
- Key States: Texas and Georgia risk rises to very high; Ohio faces mainly higher costs.
- Capacity Exposure: Over half of unstarted hyperscaler capacity sits in high-risk states.
- Hyperscaler Response: Greater experience and capital may support shifts to overseas markets.
- Watchpoints: Monitor permitting and tariff actions after new governors take office.
