As the data center industry faces challenges, providers and investors are increasingly turning to joint ventures for funding. Notable partnerships include T5 Data Centers and QuadReal Property Group’s $8B venture for 5 gigawatts of new capacity in the U.S., and PointOne Data Centers’ collaboration for capacity in Virginia. These joint ventures address the rising capital needs due to power procurement challenges and lengthy utility wait times. They allow developers to access required funds quickly while appealing to equity investors seeking exposure to the data center market. This trend is expected to accelerate, refining investment opportunities and addressing industry complexities.
