Fresh from the New Zealand Data Centre Leaders Summit, Hamish and Sam are exploring one of the most significant infrastructure opportunities shaping our economic future.
With global data centre power consumption skyrocketing – driven by generative AI and forecast to double by 2030 – New Zealand finds itself uniquely positioned. But as the global constraint shifts from capital and land to power grid capacity, what does this mean for New Zealand's development pipeline?
In this episode, they unpack why New Zealand is attractive for data centres, explore the asset class spectrum and different procurement models, and discuss project bankability. They also tackle some of the constraints that developers need to overcome including social licence and navigating the consenting process.
