As hyperscale and AI providers accelerate capacity buildouts, hi-tequity is enabling faster access to power and quicker time-to-market in data center development. In the past nine months, the company has completed more than 200 projects, delivered 5GW (gigawatts) of infrastructure, and expanded into 25 states, underscoring its leadership in rapidly deploying AI-ready data center solutions.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity demand from data centers, AI, and cryptocurrency could double by 2026, driven largely by AI workloads, intensifying pressure on power infrastructure and accelerating the need for faster deployment models.¹ This demand underscores why hi-tequity’s unique data center real estate and mission-critical electrical infrastructure supply chain relationships are in high demand, propelling the company’s momentum and delivering 100 megawatt (MW) data center blocks for AI data center infrastructure.
In addition, CBRE reports that data center vacancy rates in primary U.S. markets have dropped below 3 percent, as power availability, not land, has become the primary constraint on new capacity.² From land to load, hi-tequity is eliminating key sources of industry development friction by addressing:
- Power Availability – Securing capacity before site acquisition ensures immediate viability.
- Supply Chain Constraints – Offering dedicated manufacturing capacity for transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, and cooling infrastructure.
- Construction Timelines – Using modular and prefabricated infrastructure to reduce build cycles and accelerate hyperscale deployment timelines.
As AI environments reshape design assumptions, hi-tequity is also responding with:
- Rack densities exceeding 30-plus kilowatt (kW).
- Increased cooling and power redundancy.
- Greater emphasis on electrical infrastructure readiness.
“The bottleneck in AI infrastructure is no longer compute, it’s power and deployment speed,” said Ryne Friedman, Associate, hi-tequity. “Our ability to deliver 100 MW in nine months and scale to 5GW of infrastructure demonstrates that the industry needs a fundamentally different approach to building data centers—one that starts with power and ends with execution certainty.”
