DG Matrix raises $60M Series A to scale its Interport™ solid-state transformer platform for AI data centers, signaling a shift to industrial-scale deployment.

The debate over who pays for grid upgrades driven by data centers is moving from boardrooms to state legislatures, impacting rate design and development costs.

AI data centers are shifting behind-the-meter energy from a sustainability goal to a requirement for grid capacity. This hyperscale logic is impacting interconnection and power costs for adjacent CRE assets.

Data centers are outrunning the grid, sparking a new space race for power. To build on schedule, hyperscalers are turning to microgrids, storage, and solid-state tech, innovations now reshaping real estate and local grids.

Developers once saw electricity as a simple utility, but in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, PJM’s new rules for large-load customers like data centers reveal a new reality: grid access is now a critical project bottleneck.
