Following last week's discussion, we're excited to announce the full implementation of our new "Completed" metric across all relevant power projects. This update has impacted nearly 10 GW of projects, with approximately 1.5 GW previously listed as still "under construction." The remaining projects now fall under the EIA TS Status designation of "construction completed but not yet in commercial operation."
Introducing "Completed" for Data Centers
This week, we're also rolling out this important new metric to the Vulcan data centers dataset. We will now update a data center unit's Vulcan Construction Status to 'Completed' if it shows no apparent construction activity for more than four weeks and, following analyst review, appears to be finished. This distinction is crucial for accurately determining the lag time between a data center's apparent completion and its actual energization date.
Below are three examples, with accompanying imagery, of facilities that are still listed as 'Under Construction' by IIR, but which we believe are, in fact, construction complete.
Client Access and Unparalleled Insight
Vulcan clients have exclusive access to detailed tables outlining our weekly, plant-by-plant observations. For those seeking a more precise understanding of the rapidly evolving data center landscape, Vulcan, in partnership with IIR, offers an unparalleled perspective.
