AI data centre boom strains power grids, fuels battery storage investment race. Surging AI and data centre demand is straining global power grids, pushing tech firms and investors toward battery storage and direct renewable energy acquisitions to secure reliable electricity, according to JLL. JLL, a professional services firm specialising in real estate and investment management, has outlined how artificial intelligence and data centre expansion are affecting global power markets, citing both infrastructure constraints and investment implications. A decades-long trend of stable or declining electricity demand has reversed. North American data centre capacity is projected to nearly double from 57 GW to 109 GW by 2030, while hyperscalers have committed $200 billion in capital expenditure for 2026 alone - a 51% increase from 2025. According to JLL's global Energy & Infrastructure Advisory platform, securing power infrastructure has become a key constraint in the expansion of AI-related computing capacity. Grid infrastructure emerges as primary constraint. Transmission infrastructure, originally designed for large, centralised power stations, is struggling to accommodate a decentralised influx of new renewable energy sources. This has created grid congestion in primary markets across the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific. Despite the record capital expenditure figures cited above, interconnection queues for new renewable projects now extend to four years or more in some regions, with certain areas forced to pause new connections entirely. These dynamics are playing out at different speeds across key markets. In the U.S., interconnection reform and merchant power exposure are reshaping deal structures. In Europe, regulatory frameworks are evolving unevenly across member states. In APAC, data centre build-out is outpacing grid planning in several markets, according to JLL. Battery storage positioned as infrastructure solution. Battery energy storage systems are being used as infrastructure to manage grid constraints and renewable energy intermittency. JLL's Energy & Infrastructure Advisory advised on the disposal of a 395MW/790MWh operational battery energy storage system (BESS) portfolio in the UK, which JLL describes as the largest operational sale in Europe to date and says it established a new pricing benchmark for the market. The transaction earned JLL three awards at the 2026 Tamarindo Energy Storage Investment Awards, including Financial Advisor of the Year and M&A Deal of the Year. Regional dynamics drive partnership models. Grid access challenges are prompting collaboration between energy developers and data centre operators across global markets. Some technology companies are becoming direct participants in the energy market, with some acquiring operating renewable assets outright to secure power supply. In one example, a Bitcoin miner in Texas purchased an operating wind farm that JLL was marketing, in order to secure its power infrastructure. JLL says this demonstrates that energy users are willing to pay above market rates for reliable power supply. According to JLL, investment opportunities extend beyond traditional power generation to assets that provide flexibility and certainty in constrained markets. The firm says power access has evolved from an operational consideration to a factor affecting asset viability and valuation.

People moves: Chhavi Nayak, JLL. September 24, 2026 Why Chhavi Nayak returned to JLL to lead Data Centre deals. Chhavi Nayak joins JLL UK as Senior Director - Data Centre Transactions, with years of experience across Deloitte and JLL India JLL UK has strengthened its infrastructure and real estate advisory capabilities with the appointment of Chhavi Nayak as Senior Director - Data Centre Transactions. In her new role, she will lead transactional strategy and support client growth across the UK data centre sector. Returning to familiar ground. Chhavi made the move to JLL in August 2026 after spending three years and nine months as a Senior Manager at Deloitte UK. However, the corporate real estate firm is not fresh ground for her. She previously spent nine years at JLL India. During that time, she served as Director - Product Implementation and Sales - Flexible Spaces, where she managed national sales and acted as the single point of contact for the business's largest global product launch in 2019. Driving transaction growth. "Coming back to the world of data centres and JLL feels very special," Chhavi said on LinkedIn. "From my early years in infrastructure, to nine years at JLL India, where my data centre journey began, followed by an enriching 3+ years at Deloitte UK, this feels like a meaningful continuation of a journey that brings together many of the experiences, relationships and perspectives built along the way." Chhavi will work alongside Paul Foreman and the wider infrastructure group, operating out of JLL's 1 Broadgate office in London. "There is a truly talented and brilliant group of people across the team," Chhavi added, "and it will be a pleasure to contribute, collaborate and build on the great work already underway."
Walbridge's new data center firm snatches JLL leader. Matt Landek, who served as global president of data centers and critical environments at JLL, was hired as president and CEO of L5 Mission Critical. Published Sept. 22, 2026 First published on Dive brief: * L5 Mission Critical, a data center services company launched Sept. 16 by construction company Walbridge to provide data center services, has hired Matt Landek as president and CEO, the company announced Wednesday. * Landek served as global president of data centers and critical environments at JLL Work Dynamics, where he led a global workforce of 2,500 employees across 340 data centers. Detroit-based Walbridge is one of the country's largest privately held construction companies with more than 1,500 employees in North America. * With Walbridge, L5 Mission Critical will provide operational services for data center clients in enterprise facilities as well as gigawatt-scale campuses, Landek said in a statement. "As more service providers continue to consolidate, our ability to provide a flexible, transparent, community-based approach to operational delivery will pay dividends to the clients and the communities we serve," he said. Dive insight: Data center capacity in the U.S. is expected to double within the next three years, with nearly 45GW of additional capacity planned due to AI and cloud growth, according to Data Center Frontier. Currently, capacity is extremely limited, with most tenants securing space in small, fragmented blocks and contracting for 2028 deliveries, according to JLL's 2026 North America Data Center Midyear report. The challenge to procure and deliver new data center capacity is disrupting development pipelines and increasing reliance on existing, stabilized data centers, which already have contractually reserved capacity, largely protecting them from grid constraints and new interconnection moratoriums, Morningstar said in commentary released Aug. 5. While many data centers may not be able to support liquid cooling that is required to support AI GPU storage compute, they can be upgraded or retrofitted to support this new demand, says Sean Farney, vice president of data center strategy at JLL. L5 Mission Critical is targeting third-party data center clients by offering an integrated solution, with Walbridge providing construction and L5 providing operational assistance to clients looking for help transitioning from construction to facilities management, the company said in a news release. "L5 will differentiate itself by owning the handoff from construction and commissioning into live operations - the gap where most new data centers struggle through their first 12 months, and one no other provider has an incentive to close because each touches only a single link in the chain," Landek told Facilities Dive in an email. "We're pairing that ownership with 1) an operating model built for hyperscale from the start rather than retrofitted from legacy practice, 2) a century of Walbridge experience running complex mega-facilities, and 3) a workforce and community program that goes beyond what service providers typically offer." "As demand skyrockets, our clients not only need to get their projects up and out of the ground fast - they need critical operations and value-add services that reduce risk, ensure uptime and educate communities," said John Rakolta III, president and chief administrative officer of Walbridge. At JLL, Landek led the company's expansion into the data center market through acquisitions, internal initiatives and operations. He was involved in the firm's acquisition of data center technical and project management services company SKAE Power Solutions in 2024, which was combined with other JLL operations to form a new technical services division under Landek. In November, JLL struck an agreement with prefabricated AI data center solutions specialist InfraPartners to help it fast-track AI data center development and operations to provide an end-to-end delivery model to hyperscalers, colocation providers and enterprise clients. Before leading the company's data center operations, Landek led account teams at JLL across contracted services, including facilities management, engineering, employee experience, white space services, sourcing and procurement and project management. Prior to joining JLL in 2012, Landek worked as a facilities management professional for the Cook County government, spanning parts of Chicago and its suburbs. "Matt's expertise will allow us to scale our data center construction practice to a full build-to-operate model that our clients need in this complicated time," said Rakolta. To address workforce capacity constraints impacting the industry, L5 Mission Critical is also developing a data center workforce training curriculum that it says will create clear, accelerated pathways for skilled tradespeople, per the release. "High-density power and AI inference workload management require a different operator skill set than most FM professionals were trained for," Landek said. "The handover from construction to the operating team is exposing new problem sets for operations teams not equipped for the demands and pressure of these operations. The market has not caught up on credentialing, training, or career pathways for these environments which is driving up demand for those experienced technicians." Organizations that develop targeted, hands-on training programs and provide greater lead time in onboarding will be successful, he said.
