What challenges are shaping data center and energy decisions—and how can you address them?
How do you determine where data centers can scale?
Data center scalability is determined by power availability, grid infrastructure, and interconnection timelines, as these factors directly impact site feasibility and expansion potential.
S&P Capital IQ Pro enables this analysis by combining infrastructure, energy, and market data to identify where capacity can be deployed and where constraints may limit growth.
Where is the energy supply, and what are the infrastructure constraints?
Energy supply depends on generation capacity, transmission infrastructure, and regional power pricing, all of which influence development timelines and operating costs.
S&P Capital IQ Pro connects power sector datasets, energy market insights and regulatory research to help assess where energy availability supports expansion—and where constraints may impact project viability.
How do you identify investment opportunities and regional risks?
Investment opportunities and risks are shaped by uneven data center growth across regions, where supply constraints and rising demand create both challenges and areas of opportunity.
S&P Capital IQ Pro helps identify these dynamics by linking datacenter market demand, infrastructure insights, and energy data across global markets.
Are you connecting infrastructure insights to financial decision-making for clarity?
Effective decision-making requires integrating infrastructure, energy, and financial data, as fragmented datasets can limit visibility and slow analysis.
S&P Capital IQ Pro brings these insights together in a unified workflow, enabling more consistent evaluation of feasibility, risk, and long-term investment outcomes.
How can you analyze data center growth and energy demand –and act on it?
Effective data center energy analysis requires integrating datacenter infrastructure, energy supply, power pricing, and financial market intelligence into a unified view. This helps organizations evaluate site feasibility, compare regional opportunities, and assess infrastructure constraints more consistently.
S&P Capital IQ Pro brings these capabilities together—combining asset-level data center intelligence, power market insights, and financial analytics into a single, integrated workflow for more consistent and data-driven decision-making.

What differentiates S&P Capital IQ Pro’s approach to datacenter energy analysis?
Spatial analysis linking data center demand to power supply
The Datacenter and Energy Project Proximity Analysis Blueprint enables organizations to evaluate how planned data center capacity aligns with nearby energy infrastructure.
Using a proximity analysis map, users can visualize early-stage, uncontracted power plant projects within a defined radius (e.g., 25 miles) of new developments—helping assess how energy supply may support or constrain expansion.
By combining S&P Capital IQ Pro power plant data with the 451 Research Data Center Knowledgebase, the blueprint allows users to:
- Identify planned data center capacity alongside emerging energy supply projects
- Evaluate how future demand from data centers may be met by nearby power assets
- Pinpoint regions where infrastructure gaps or opportunities exist
This approach helps organizations move beyond siloed datasets to understand how demand and supply intersect geographically, supporting decisions across site selection, energy planning, and investment strategy.

Use cases for data center energy forecasting and investment analysis
Questions about data center and energy analysis on S&P Capital IQ Pro
How can organizations evaluate datacenter demand using S&P Capital IQ Pro?
Data center demand can be evaluated by analyzing asset-level datacenter facility data, capacity metrics, and expansion pipelines across global markets. S&P Capital IQ Pro enables this analysis by providing visibility into where demand is concentrated, which operators are expanding, and how regional supply is evolving, leveraging the 451 Research Datacenter KnowledgeBase, an asset-level datacenter database, and market insights.
How does S&P Capital IQ Pro support forecasting and long-term planning for datacenter energy demand?
Forecasting and long-term planning for datacenter energy demand are supported by analyzing datacenter investment and expansion pipelines, power market supply and demand, and infrastructure constraints. Capital IQ Pro enables this by incorporating forward-looking electricity price forecasts—up to 20 years in the U.S.—to assess power project feasibility and long-term market dynamics. Through integrated power market and global datacenter research, S&P Capital IQ Pro enables organizations to anticipate infrastructure bottlenecks, identify emerging growth regions, and assess how trends such as AI adoption will impact datacenter expansion and energy requirements over time.
What risks can S&P Capital IQ Pro help identify in datacenter investment and development?
Data center investment and development risks are identified by analyzing power availability, grid constraints, development timelines, energy cost volatility, and market imbalances. S&P Capital IQ Pro enables this by combining energy market data, infrastructure insights, and financial analysis to assess project feasibility and long-term risk. The platform provides visibility into current and future power generation capacity and pipelines, as well as mapping tools that overlay energy infrastructure with datacenter regions to evaluate grid connectivity and transmission networks. U.S. power market data, regulatory insights, and market analysis further help identify where risks and opportunities are emerging across regions.
