Connection warning for data centre developers
Data centre developers are far too optimistic about the time it will take to secure connections to the electricity grid, according to a report. Half of industry professionals believe they will obtain a connection within one or two years when the reality is a three- to eight-year wait. Hugh Taylor, chief executive of Roadnight Taylor, the consultancy behind the report, said: “Data centre developers are facing mounting grid connection challenges that can derail the most promising projects.”
