| Value kind | forecast — Forecasts are time-bound outlooks, not specifications; test decisions across plausible scenarios. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Installed US data-center capacity as BNEF defines it; the public article does not say whether the GW are IT load or facility power. A forecast, not committed builds or a load-interconnection queue. |
| Caveat | BNEF raised the outlook 52% (2030) and 83% (2035) in seven months, while the announced US pipeline grew another 101 GW; expect further revisions. |
