Digital Infrastructure: Powering the Next Wave of Growth

Written by Harrison Street Private Wealth | Jan 15, 2026 4:00:00 PM

The digital revolution is accelerating demand for data centers, and the numbers are striking:

  • U.S. data centers consumed 183 TWh (terawatt hours) of electricity in 2024, and demand is projected to more than double by 2030.
  • Global data center capacity is expected to grow from 81 GW (gigawatts) today to 222 GW by 2030, requiring hundreds of billions in annual investment.

Hyperscalers are leading the charge. Capital expenditures are projected to reach $550 billion by 2026, underscoring the scale of opportunity for investors.

We believe digital infrastructure is a cornerstone of modern portfolios, essential for AI and cloud applications, and the investment opportunities are vast.
