Securing timely access to sufficient electrical capacity for new data center construction is a pressing constraint. In many U.S. regions, the challenge is not solely the absence of generation capacity but the inability to procure the necessary infrastructure—transformers, switchgear, and other critical interconnection assets—within practical timelines. Lead times for such equipment now extend into years, effectively stalling deployment.

This infrastructural friction exposes the rigidity of the AC grid interconnection paradigm. DC architectures, particularly when integrated with on-site photovoltaic generation and battery energy storage systems (BESS), offer a way to circumvent these limitations. By deploying self-contained DC microgrids, developers can initiate data center operations well before grid interconnection is complete, enabling phased deployment strategies. This shift reduces dependency on utility timelines, expedites time-to-operation, and promotes distributed resilience.
