AI-led digital growth is accelerating far faster than the power, water and land systems needed to support it. In markets around the world, data centre development is now constrained by grid congestion, water scarcity, land competition and tightening regulatory expectations; conditions reshaping how and where capacity can be delivered. 

But these pressures also create a strategic opportunity. With coordinated planning and shared infrastructure, data centres can shift from isolated users to anchors for more resilient and sustainable systems – catalysing investment in renewable energy, recycled water and utility networks that serve both industry and surrounding communities. 

In this new report, TBH’s Data Centre Leads, Directors Rob Hammond and Stuart Cassie outline how a precinct-scale model can reduce delivery risk, improve system efficiency and unlock cross-sector value in markets experiencing rapid digital expansion.
