Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a concept of the future — it’s the driving force of today’s economy. Trillions of dollars are being poured into AI software, hardware, and services. Yet one critical bottleneck threatens to stall progress: power and infrastructure.

The truth is simple — GPUs and servers are useless without scalable, redundant energy. And energy solutions are useless without land to build on. That’s where opportunity lies for organizations, municipalities, and landowners across the globe.

Why Land Is the New Gold in AI

Every AI data center needs space — not just for servers and GPUs, but for turbines, cooling, and backup systems. The right land can determine whether a project launches in 90 days or gets stuck in permitting for 5 years.

• Size matters: Data centers typically need 10–100+ acres.
• Location matters: Proximity to fiber optic lines is as critical as proximity to fuel supply.
• Stability matters: Flat, flood-safe, industrial-zoned property is ideal.

For many communities, underutilized or distressed industrial land could become the foundation of the AI economy.

The Bottleneck: Energy Supply

Utility grids are overloaded. Permits take years. OEM lead times for turbines stretch into the 2030s. Meanwhile, demand is soaring:

• Data centers already consume ~4% of U.S. electricity.
• By 2028, that figure could triple to 12%.
• AI workloads alone could require more than 50 gigawatts of new demand — the equivalent of powering tens of millions of homes.

That gap has created a new reality: organizations that want AI infrastructure can’t wait for utilities or OEMs. They need solutions today.

The DPS Advantage: Fast-Deploy Infrastructure

With my team and our global partners, we provide turnkey AI data center solutions that cut through delays. Here’s what that looks like:

• Turbines & Generators: Gas and diesel units ready for immediate deployment.
• NVIDIA GPUs: The backbone of AI compute.
• Support Systems: UPS, ATS, transformers, and fuel storage.
• Financing Solutions: Using your land or assets as leverage to secure capital.

The result? A project that can go live in 90 days, not 3–5 years.

Case Studies: How Data Centers Benefit Communities Worldwide

1. Project Stargate (U.S.)

OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank are investing $500 billion in five new AI data centers across the U.S. The Abilene, Texas site alone will consume ~900 MW of power and create ~25,000 direct and indirect jobs. To secure reliability, the site is building its own gas-fired power plant — proving how critical independent power supply is to AI buildouts.

2. Vantage Data Centers — San Antonio, Texas

Vantage is building a $276.9 million, 432,800 sq. ft. data center, capable of delivering ~96 MW of capacity. Beyond construction jobs, it will drive long-term demand for local contractors, fiber providers, and utility upgrades. In nearby Shackleford County, Vantage has plans for a 1.4 GW campus, showing how even rural land can become a global AI hub.

3. Northern Virginia — The World’s Largest Data Center Hub

Northern Virginia now accounts for ~13% of the world’s data center capacity. In 2023, its data center industry supported ~$31 billion in economic output and tens of thousands of jobs. This region demonstrates how a cluster of facilities can transform a local economy — raising property values, expanding tax bases, and spurring infrastructure development.

4. Big Data Guizhou — China

Guizhou Province turned itself into a national data hub, attracting Apple, Tencent, and other tech giants. With 39 major facilities built, the region added ~450,000 jobs and made data centers responsible for ~23% of local GDP growth. What was once an underdeveloped area is now a magnet for global technology.

5. NCAR Supercomputing Center — Wyoming

In Cheyenne, Wyoming, the NCAR facility uses the cool climate to achieve natural cooling 96% of the year, reducing energy costs. It also recycles waste heat to warm nearby buildings and melt snow. This shows how smart site design can add both sustainability and community benefit.

Who Can Benefit

• Municipalities & Townships: Convert land into tax base, jobs, and economic growth.
• Landowners: Repurpose idle or industrial-zoned property into high-value AI infrastructure.
• Universities & Research Hubs: Launch on-site compute to power innovation.
• Corporations & Developers: Expand without being limited by grid delays.

Raising the Capital

Even with the land, many organizations struggle with capital. That’s where our team comes in. We work with trusted financial partners worldwide to structure deals that make projects viable. If you have the land, we can help unlock the funding to make it happen.

Global Reach

Whether you’re in the U.S., Africa, Europe, Asia, or Latin America, our model works. Energy demand is global. AI adoption is global. And our sourcing and financing reach is global too.

The Big Picture

This isn’t just about AI companies. It’s about communities. By turning land into power and compute hubs, towns can attract investment, support industries, and secure their place in the future economy.

The AI revolution is happening now. The only question is: will your land or community be part of it?
