As hyperscale and AI operators rush to expand capacity, hi-tequity is enabling faster access to power and accelerating time-to-market for data center projects. Over the past 2.5 years, the company has supported more than 200 initiatives and delivered 5 gigawatts (GW) of electrical infrastructure across 25 states, highlighting its leadership in rapidly deploying AI-ready data center infrastructure.
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.
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:
- Ever-increasing rack densities.
- Increased cooling and power redundancies.
- A 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 has allowed us to scale to 5 GW of deployed infrastructure. This demonstrates that the industry needs a fundamentally different approach to building data centers—hi-tequity is addressing this issue with certainty.”
