Behind-the-meter power gains ground
Grid-only design dominated hyperscale specifications for two years. That is changing: 61% of new campuses of 100MW or more filed in H1 2026 include behind-the-meter generation, up from 28% a year earlier.
What is driving the shift
The stated drivers are utility-delay risk, PUE targets under AI density, and new gas turbine packages that reach 43% efficiency at data center load profiles.
DIJASOFT’s construction module now models hybrid grid-plus-BTM power as parallel tranches.
