About Future Energy Ventures - Data Center Market Map - September 2025

Future Energy Ventures' Data Center Market Map (September 2025) provides a comprehensive overview of the data center ecosystem as AI demand collides with energy and digital infrastructure. The map projects global capacity to reach 2.5× by 2030 (~130GW) and 4× by 2035 (~210GW), with 80–90GW in the U.S. by 2030 and nearly $7T globally. It spotlights solution spaces and startups across three key areas: Design (site selection, permitting, interconnection), Construction (digital infrastructure, cooling, on-site power storage), and Operations (energy compute optimization). The market map is intended for investors, startups, and infrastructure stakeholders focused on building sustainable, next-generation data centers.
