This week’s Icarus Data Center Briefing dives into Equinix’s new nuclear and fuel cell partnerships, a $4 billion financing round for CoreWeave, and warnings about phantom data center load threatening to overload the grid. We explore how on-site generation is filling power gaps, new tariffs are shaping project commitments, and community advocates demand transparency and environmental justice. Plus, we preview a power industry summit that could offer a roadmap past today’s energy bottlenecks.
