DENVER, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LandGate, the leading provider of data solutions for U.S. infrastructure and energy projects, has released its highly anticipated white paper: “2025 Data Center Year in Review.” The report provides an in-depth analysis of how hyperscaling, a surge in AI demand, and critical power constraints have fundamentally shifted the data center market.
As data center expenditures surpassed $600 billion in 2025, the industry reached a critical tipping point. With the U.S. now home to nearly 50% of the world’s facilities, developers are increasingly bypassing traditional grid bottlenecks by deploying “Behind-the-Meter” (BTM) energy solutions, including onsite nuclear, natural gas, and massive solar-plus-storage arrays.
“The data center industry has entered a new age of technology where power-readiness is the primary currency,” says the report. “Strategic adaptation is no longer optional as we move toward gigawatt-scale computing and ‘AI superfactories’ designed solely for massive artificial intelligence workloads.”
