About

The Data Center Daily is a short daily briefing for professionals tracking the AI compute buildout and the energy infrastructure powering it. We cover hyperscaler capex (Microsoft, Google, Meta, AWS, Oracle, OpenAI/Stargate, xAI), data center siting and permitting, ISO/RTO interconnection queues (PJM, ERCOT, MISO, CAISO), power purchase agreements across gas, nuclear, and renewables, FERC and state PUC orders, semiconductor supply (Nvidia, AMD, custom silicon, HBM), data center REITs and infrastructure funds, and the macro and supply-chain stories where AI compute collides with the real economy. Editorial spirit drawn from SemiAnalysis, Wood Mackenzie's Energy Gang, BlackRock's The Bid, and Bloomberg's Odd Lots.
