Environmental considerations, including water use and air emissions, play a central role in modern hyperscale data center development. These environmental factors influence site selection, permitting strategies, commercial contracts, project financing, and long term operations. They also shape community engagement and public response to data center proposals.
The firm hosted the third session of its Data Center Deep Dives series. This program focuses on how stakeholders can proactively identify and manage key environmental considerations, such as water supply, air permitting, stormwater runoff, and property contamination, during data center development.
Participants will gain practical insight into:
- The environmental regulatory landscape affecting hyperscale data center projects.
- How power, water, air emissions, and contamination constraints shape site selection and permitting strategy.
- The latest environmental policy trends affecting data centers.
- Water rights, utility agreements, and alternative supply structures used to support development.
- Expectations from investors, customers, and communities on environmental matters.
This session is designed for developers, operators, investors, and public sector partners seeking greater certainty in an increasingly regulated and resource constrained environment.
