Bill Tesarek, President of Alsay, explains that, as Texas accelerates its position as a hub for AI infrastructure, a less visible constraint is beginning to surface: water availability may become the limiting factor for future growth. While most attention remains on power and grid capacity, operators inside water infrastructure systems are seeing early signals that demand tied to AI is scaling faster than the systems designed to support it.

Jake Bush, RLB Head of Supply Chain and Procurement, discusses the findings of the company’s latest data centre trends report, which finds the industry at the beginning of a new infrastructure cycle after a year of recalibration, but success will be determined less by demand and more by the ability to deliver at scale. Jake explains that the future of Europe’s data centre expansion is not dependent on demand, but whether there is the ability to deliver, with structural challenges to the next wave of digital infrastructure including limited access to power, permitting delays and renewed pressure on materials, equipment and specialist labour.

Brad Johnson, Director, Industry Executive for Electric Utilities at Bentley Systems, explains how smart data centre developers are already recognising that real engineering value lives beyond the fence line. Siting decisions, grid interconnection, renewable energy access, road networks, water supply, and substation constraints determine whether a billion-dollar investment performs or fails. Communities hold equal power in that equation - projects are stalling because developers skipped the social license conversation. Happily, as Brad highlights, the engineering intelligence to get this right already exists - the industry needs to use it.
