The amount of peripheral growth around it is even larger, tons of construction, utility company upgrades etc. There are more data centers under construction than there are currently operational data centers. So there is more than doubling of capacity coming from current buildout. If you include projects in the planning phase it is something like 4-6x expected capacity increase. The utility infrastructure buildout to meet this demand is equally huge.

The warning signs are already starting to show up though, projects are being stalled, not filled out, blaming it on delays from China etc, but the funding is still present, the construction keeps going on of the next building even as the last one sits vacant and offline. The sky high purchases of property from connected individuals by site developers continue, even as pushback mounts and many places are passing anti-datacenter ordinances.
