Critical Load: Inside the Data Centre Boom lifts the lid on one of the hottest and most contested sectors in private markets. Combining insight from major investors, operators, legal and consulting experts and PEI Group’s own research team, we go inside (literally) to explore the key themes driving growth in the sector.
In this third episode of the four-part podcast miniseries, we confront the growing public and media narrative that data centres are driving up household electricity bills and we investigate how – and whether – the record is being set straight. We also look at how the industry is addressing environmental concerns on multiple fronts. A proactive approach to engagement and education is required if operators want to maintain their social licence to operate.
