Will a major US hyperscaler attribute an AI capacity delay to power or grid interconnection between 2026-11-15 and 2027-12-31?
Grid interconnection and electrical-chain timing, not capital or chip availability, is the binding constraint, and hyperscalers will say so on the record as power-on dates slip.

Interconnection capacity is the bottleneck
Multi-year interconnection queues, transformer and switchgear lead times, and substation construction cycles that cannot compress to match 12-24 month data center build schedules. Announced and funded data center capacity reaches energization later than planned, producing dark shells and explicit management attribution of delays to power rather than GPUs.

Chip and labor shortages are the binding constraint
Shortages of chips and skilled labor, such as electricians and plumbers, are what keep the AI compute market from reaching overcapacity, not grid interconnection. This side would be shown right if hyperscalers consistently cite GPU or memory supply and workforce shortages, rather than power or interconnection, as the binding constraint on AI capacity through 2027.
