ReportWhere is the AI data center buildout headed, and what's driving those locations?
The U.S. AI data center buildout is the largest private infrastructure program in American history, with roughly $10 trillion projected through 2032 and hyperscalers spending an estimated $700–725 billion in 2026 capital expenditures alone. The buildout is fundamentally restructuring the national geography of computing infrastructure: 77% of capacity now under construction is in frontier markets that had almost no data centers a decade ago. Texas has emerged as the single largest pipeline by power—26 GW of existing and under-construction capacity—while Virginia remains the world's largest single market by operating inventory. Power availability has replaced fiber connectivity as the primary site selection criterion; nearly every large project is either building its own behind-the-meter generation or signing direct, long-term power agreements to bypass overloaded interconnection queues.
