    Starwood Digital Ventures files to develop 1.2GW, 11-building data center campus in Delaware. Project Washington would see 11 buildings developed on approximately 580 acres of vacant land between the Dupont Highway, Governor Lea Road, and River Road in New Castle, a city located on the Delaware River, approximately seven miles south of Wilmington and 35 miles southwest of Philadelphia. Starwood Digital Ventures, a subsidiary of Starwood Capital Group, is proposing the project along with landowner New Castle Campus Development LLC, an entity tied to PBF Energy. Construction could start as soon as Q3 2026, and initial operations are targeted to begin in Q2 2028. Power would come from Delmarva Power Company’s Red Lion electrical substation Starwood Digital Ventures said it currently has over $17 billion of digital infrastructure commitments and a pipeline of more than 3.5GW of data center developments globally.

    Deloitte - “Can US infrastructure keep up with the AI economy?” 1) Dramatic surge in AI data center power demand - U.S. AI data centers consumed about 4 GW in 2024, with projections soaring to 123 GW by 2035—a more than thirtyfold increase. 2) Exponential increase in energy usage per square foot - Typical 5‑acre AI-augmented data centers may demand 5 to 50 MW, compared to traditional industry norms 3) Hyperscaler projects on unprecedented scale - While current hyperscaler facilities consume under 500 MW, upcoming ones are planned at 2 GW, and mega campuses could consume 5 GW, rivaling major power plants. 4) Strain on grid operations - Local grid networks are already facing issues like harmonic distortion, load warnings, generation shutdowns, and up to 7-year delays for interconnection approvals 5) Decentralization of data-center infrastructure - AI capacities are spreading across more states, bringing demands closer to users—reducing latency but adding complexity to grid management 6) Grid stress is industry’s top concern - 79% of power and data-center executives in an April 2025 survey identified grid capacity as the primary obstacle to expansion through 2035 7) Forecasting and supply-chain volatility—Predicting future power needs is uncertain, with supply chain bottlenecks and forecasting inaccuracies risking both overbuilding and underserving. 8) Repurposing retired power plants - Converting shuttered facilities—like coal plants—into gas-powered or AI-powered campuses is a proposed strategy to align capacity with new demand Are you hiring for your infrastructure projects?

    CoreWeave plans $6bn data center in Lancaster, PA. The data center will initially have 100MW of IT capacity, though it could scale up to 300MW. It will be "purpose-built" for AI use cases. GPU cloud provider CoreWeave will be the sole tenant of the site. Chirisa Technology Parks and Machine Investment Group LP will co-develop the data center. Around 600 skilled jobs are expected to be needed during the build phase, and around 70 full-time technical and operational roles at launch, scaling to 175 over time. “The demand for high-performance AI compute is relentless, and CoreWeave is scaling a cloud purpose-built for AI to meet it and strengthen US leadership,” said Michael Intrator, co-founder, chairman of the board, and CEO of CoreWeave “Pennsylvania is competing again and bringing in billions of dollars in new investment to the Commonwealth to support our technology sector, and CoreWeave’s $6 billion investment will continue to build on that work — creating good-paying jobs as Pennsylvania workers build, maintain, and operate a new AI data center in Lancaster County,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. Co-developer Chirisa previously teamed up with PowerHouse Data Centers and asset manager Blue Owl Capital for a joint venture (JV) dedicated to developing data centers for CoreWeave. Earlier this month, CoreWeave announced it would be acquiring data center developer Core Scientific, of which it is the largest customer, for $9 billion. CoreWeave currently operates 33 AI data centers, 28 of which are in the US. The company, as well as self-building facilities, also leases space from Lincoln Data Centers, Chirisa Technology Parks , Flexential,TierPoint, Digital Realty, Switch, DataBank, Galaxy Data Centers, and Applied Digital Are you hiring for your infrastructure projects?

    NRG Energy announced it would acquire 18 natural gas-fired power plants with 13 GW of generation capacity as part of a $12-billion cash-and-stock deal with LS Power. The companies said NRG will pay LS Power $6.4 billion in cash and $2.8 billion in stocks as part of the deal. At the close of the deal, NRG will also assume $3.2 billion of net debt. LS Power, headquartered in New York City, is an energy infrastructure investment firm. NRG CEO Larry Cohen said the deal is driven by the expected rise in electricity demand from industrial customers, including data centers. “This transaction is a significant milestone for our firm and investors,” said Paul Segal, CEO of LS Power. The deal is the latest for NRG as the company looks to capitalize on growth in power demand. NRG acquired 738 MW of gas-fired assets from Texas-based Rockland Capital in March; the deal was for one combined-cycle unit and five peaker units. NRG signed power supply deals with two data center developers earlier this year, and the utility also has said it is working with GE Vernova to develop as much as 5.4 GW of new natural gas-fired generation capacity. LS Power has said it will keep its LS Power Grid (LSPG) platform. LSPG, representing the company’s competitive transmission business, has more than 780 miles of high-voltage transmission lines in operation and another 350-plus miles currently under construction or development, representing a combined capital investment of more than $6 billion.

    Fidelis' AtmosClear signs agreement with Microsoft for high-quality carbon removal from project in Louisiana. Construction is planned to start in 2026 and commercial operations in 2029. Fidelis estimates that the project will result in over $800 million of investment and approximately 75 permanent and 600 construction jobs, while supporting a significant revival of forestry management jobs impacted by mill closures in the area. The plant will use sustainable materials like sugarcane bagasse and trimmings from prudent forest management to produce clean energy while capturing 680,000 metric tons of biogenic carbon dioxide per year, which will be utilized for permanent storage or beneficial use, such as a feedstock for low-carbon natural gas and other synthetic fuels. "We are proud to work with Fidelis on this pathbreaking project, which will bring together science, engineering, and commercial innovations to offer a compelling model for carbon removal in the United States," said Brian Marrs, Senior Director of Energy & Carbon Removal at Microsoft. "This contract with Microsoft marks a transformative moment for the high-quality, engineered carbon removal market," said Daniel Shapiro, CEO of Fidelis. "AtmosClear showcases how proven technologies, paired with sustainable feedstocks like sugarcane bagasse and forest management materials, can deliver meaningful climate impact while providing quality jobs, economic development, and other community benefits. We are proud to build infrastructure in Baton Rouge, a place many of us at Fidelis have called home, that not only removes carbon from the atmosphere but also provides economic opportunity for Louisiana." #carboncapture #digitalinfrastructure #energyinfrastructure #powerinfrastructure
