1GigLabs, in collaboration with The DCA – Data Centre Alliance, has announced the launch of ‘Power Trends’, an intelligence platform aiming to provide DCA Partners with insights into Europe’s power landscape, with a focus on access to power as a constraint on digital infrastructure deployment.
As demand for digital infrastructure grows, driven by AI, cloud computing, and high-performance technologies, the platform is designed to support analysis of power availability and related factors affecting deployment decisions. It integrates multiple datasets into a structured system to support investment and site selection processes.
The platform uses live data from transmission system operators, combined with AI-driven analysis, to provide an overview of power availability, pricing, grid constraints, and regulatory changes across 14 European markets.
Key capabilities include:
- Live grid intelligence: Data from national operators including NESO, RTE, and REE
- Electricity pricing: Information on electricity pricing and interconnector flows
- Pipeline visibility: Access to grid connection projects and capacity data
- Constraint analysis: Mapping of regional power availability and constraints
- Market assessments: AI-generated analysis supported by more than 60 cited data sources
A central feature is the Power Infrastructure Map, which provides spatial analysis of power capacity, network constraints, and digital infrastructure at a regional level. The platform is designed to support decision-making by presenting structured data for analysis.
‘Power Trends’ is available to DCA Platinum Partners and is intended to support analysis of Europe’s digital infrastructure and power-related planning considerations.
