Many data centers feature large amounts of plant equipment, such as chillers and generators, on the roof, meaning there is simply not enough space to justify a solar deployment.
Data center financing is crucial to the purchase, construction, and expansion of a data center. Learn about best practices and tactics to secure the best deals.
New and expanded data centers are expected to double the sector''s power demand by 2029, according to JLL. As a result, developers and tech companies have been working overtime to
Learn about the complexities of financing data centers and explore various funding strategies to align with long-term goals in a rapidly evolving market.
Finding the right kind of data center financing will be central to expanding your portfolio in this area – assuming you don''t have a few million dollars lying around spare. With that in mind, let''s explore how
Understanding commercial solar power system financing options is crucial for making this investment feasible and cost-effective. This comprehensive guide will explore various commercial
Solar power presents a compelling solution for data centers and IT infrastructure, offering benefits like reduced carbon footprint, cost savings, and energy independence.
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a financial arrangement where a third-party provider owns and operates the solar system on behalf of the data center. In this model, the data center doesn''t buy or own the solar
In September, we closed a transaction where we did exactly that: financed multiple build-outs of single-digit-megawatt data centers across nine locations in the southeastern United States.
These solutions are tailored to the unique risk profiles of modern data center projects — often massive, single-tenant campuses for creditworthy hyperscalers that can require power capacity in excess of
