Half of 2026 US datacenter capacity not yet built
3 min read
Only 12 GW of the 24 GW of US datacenter capacity scheduled for 2026 is under construction, according to Jefferies. Delays stem from zoning, power access, and labor shortages. Duplicative utility requests by hyperscalers inflate planned totals, making 15-20 GW per year a more realistic build rate than 40+ GW forecasts.
