Significant mismatch in data center demand and power growth – increasing the value of land and power assets ➢ Electricity demand growth driven largely by GenAI and data centers significantly outpacing the expected supply growth of available power capacity ▪ Over time, the imbalance will continue to increase the value of the time limiting resource – power and land ➢ The top constraint for data center market growth today is access to power capacity, with the key constraint being time to power ➢ Near term access to power adds meaningful time advantages for data center developers which suggest that they are willing to pay significant premiums for quicker access to power ➢ Players with access to the key limiting resource – land and power – are well situated to capture tremendous value over the next decade Electricity production annual growth through 2035 (3) Power price premium willingly paid for bringing data centers online faster by 2 years (2) Expected US data center power capacity by 2030 (1) Projected annual growth of power demand for GenAI (2) Data center electrical consumption annual growth through 2035 (3) U.S. data center demand 2023 (1) (1) Source: Data Center Dynamics dated January 15, 2024: “Newmark: US Data center power consumption to double by 2030”.
