A new report from Metal Focus reveals that global silver market remains structurally tight, with elevated prices, a fifth consecutive annual supply deficit in 2025, and ongoing mine and recycling constraints despite modest production growth. At the same time, PV-driven silver demand is falling sharply due to cost pressure and thrifting.
As AI workloads scale, Equinix is betting that network operations must become autonomous to keep pace with increasingly dynamic infrastructure demands.
Meta doubles down on custom AI chips with Broadcom, targeting inference efficiency and Ethernet-scaled infrastructure as workloads grow.
Grid queues, community pressures, and AI demand push operators toward behind-the-meter generation, microgrids, and flexible power.
In our April Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), we expect U.S. hydropower generation will increase by 5% in 2026 but remain 1.8% below the 10-year average following snow drought conditions in some states. Hydropower generation in 2025 increased to 245 billion kilowatthours (BkWh), about 4 BkWh more than the record-low generation year 2024. In 2026,
Industry leaders analyze the proposed pause on AI data centers and the need to balance growth, sustainability, and community concerns.
When the going gets tough, the tough get strategic. That’s the approach of third-party management firm J Street Property Services at a time when factors like inflation and rising tenant expectations are making commercial property management more...
As AI drives unprecedented density and complexity, Compu Dynamics CEO Steve Altizer explains why data centers are shifting from adaptable buildings to purpose-built industrial systems optimized for power, cooling, and token production.
With demand outpacing capacity, the partners aim to cut timelines and execution risk by unifying planning, construction, and commissioning under a single platform.
As AI buildouts accelerate, strain on materials for servers, networking, and power systems is becoming more evident.
Key initiatives include an addendum to ANSI/TIA-942 for AI infrastructure, the DCE 9000 quality management standard for supply chains, and expanded global certifications.
UK data centers are critical to digital infrastructure but face growing regulatory scrutiny on privacy, cybersecurity, and compliance.
During 2025, the U.S. electric power sector retired 2.6 gigawatts (GW) of coal-fired generating capacity at four power plants, the least since 2010. At the beginning of 2025, coal plant operators had planned to retire 8.5 GW of capacity; however, 4.8 GW of planned retirements were delayed to a future year, and the operators of two coal plants (1.1
Texas and the Midwest are set to capture more than half of new US hyperscale capacity as AI demand pushes operators toward power-rich regions.
The company advocates for workload-specific memory architectures, such as LPDDR5X, to optimize energy efficiency and performance, signaling a shift away from traditional one-size-fits-all server memory designs.
Joliet’s $20B data campus signals the Midwest’s move toward utility-scale AI infrastructure; bringing new scrutiny around power, cost allocation, and community impact.
The pushback is getting louder. Where is the disconnect between data center growth and public trust, and how does it get fixed?
Annual motor gasoline consumption in the United States decreased in 2025 even as vehicle miles traveled (VMT) increased because of increasing fuel efficiency, a trend we forecast will continue in 2026 and 2027. U.S. motor gasoline consumption averaged 8.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2025, 1% less than 2024 and 4% less than pre-pandemic demand
The company’s new managed agents aim to remove infrastructure bottlenecks, shifting control of complex AI workloads into its platform as enterprises push toward production.
As capital markets tighten and new financing models emerge, enterprises are confronting a key constraint: much of the existing data center footprint was not designed for production AI.
Discover how smartphones could revolutionize edge computing, AI, and sustainability in today’s resource-strained data center world.
Major SMR vendors are making strategic advances in regulatory approval, manufacturing ecosystems, and customer partnerships, with a growing emphasis on industrial applications like data centers and petrochemicals, shaping diverse business models.
For decades, crane and rigging services were often afterthoughts on construction sites. General contractors would call in a crane when the time came to move something heavy and not think about it until that moment arrived. Today, project demands have...
