Data centers face new development challenges given the sector’s rapid expansion to meet rapidly rising demand from new AI investments and continued migration to the cloud. This has affected the power and utility sectors in addition to the data center developers and hyperscalers. High capital needs have resulted in a diverse approach to financing new data center investments across multiple capital markets. Join us for a dynamic webinar where Moody’s has convened a panel of cross sector analysts to delve into the intricacies of new data center developments.

Topics of conversation will cover these questions and more:

  • How long will current data center supply and demand remain imbalanced?
  • How will AI investments and continued cloud migration impact demand for data centers?
  • Why are data center development timelines lengthening and what new obstacles are they facing?
  • How is the rapid rise in data center electricity demand impacting the power and utilities sectors?
  • How have privatizations and consolidation of data center companies and developers affected their approach to financing their operations and growth?
  • What are key credit risks and trends for new project and structured finance data center financings?
  • What key structural protections help mitigate refinancing, recontracting, and construction risks?
