BloombergNEF dropped some wild numbers on data center timelines. From breaking ground to actually flipping the switch? Nearly 7 years. The breakdown hits different: almost 5 years stuck in pre-construction hell, then another 2.6 years watching concrete pour. But here's the real kicker—grid interconnection stays the absolute chokepoint holding everything back. Those NVDA, MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, META plays everyone's watching? Yeah, they're all wrestling with this same infrastructure nightmare.

It will take 7 years to go live? This infrastructure bottleneck is really something else. No matter how powerful the tech giants are, they still have to line up and wait for the power grid.

After research and analysis, data shows that in this seven-year infrastructure cycle, the first five years were absurdly stuck in the approval process. Grid connection is the real bottleneck—no matter how much money the big players burn, they still have to wait. It is recommended to keep an eye on the subsequent actions of these wallet addresses; infrastructure delays usually indicate that capital is recalculating ROI.

It takes 7 years just to get started, who can bear that... Grid connection is the real meat grinder.
