"In this survey, average response from hyperscalers and colocation providers suggests that roughly one-third of data centers in 2030 will use 100% onsite power, a 22% increase from the previous report. Expectations for onsite power solutions are rising amid weakening confidence in grid delivery timelines. In parallel, 73% of respondents report actively evaluating or selecting onsite power providers, underscoring the growing emphasis on fast, predictable time-to-power."

"... Temporary bridge-to-grid power remains the most common near-term deployment model, but by 2030, permanent onsite power emerges as the top-ranked solution for minimizing development timelines and costs—reflecting a familiar pattern in other power-intensive industries such as cement, refining, and steel."
