From Land to Load: Assessing the US Data Center Pipeline with Wood Mackenzie and LandGate

Navigate the data center and large load boom with market, grid, and land insights

Date 8 October 2026
Time 5pm BST // 12pm ET

Overview

More than 400GW of data center demand has been announced, yet site, grid, supply chain, policy, and community constraints create a wide gap between headline power and realized projects.

Join experts from Wood Mackenzie and LandGate for a research briefing on the current state of the US data center pipeline. Drawing on Wood Mackenzie's power market intelligence and policy research and LandGate's market and siting data, our experts will deliver a reality check on data center development to support capital allocation and project planning.

During this session, our experts will cover:

  • Outlook drivers: data center announcements, utility commitments, supply trajectory, policy, and community sentiment
  • Asset-level trends: how site-specific land, environmental, and grid constraints determine whether a data center becomes operational
  • Market insights: a deep dive into PJM and ERCOT, where large load growth is most concentrated
  • What's next: the biggest open questions and opportunities in large load development over the next 12–18 months
