Deep & Emerging TechData centre firms say the AI bottleneck is now power and labour
AI buildout is now gated by megawatts and electricians, not GPUs—European grid connections stretching to ten years turn siting into the real strategy problem. If you’re planning large-scale AI workloads, you need power, permitting, and workforce risk modeled alongside chip supply in your 2026–2030 roadmap.
