Data centers now face 10-year interconnection queues
Akash Accelerate 2025 - Jason Badeaux from Daylight on Decentralized Energy (Akash Network)
“Some data came out last week actually that most data centers now have a 10-year interconnection queue… which means I can start constructing it [in] 2035. That’s not going to work for where we’re headed. And so this intersection of distributed energy, distributed compute is I think the next generation of how we build infrastructure.” — 00:11:27
Context: Closing argument that centralized grid and data center buildout cannot keep pace with AI demand. Speaker: Jason Badeaux (Daylight), not Greg.
