# AI Developers Expand Data Center Capacity

A data-center tracker published November 10, 2026, counted 480 generative-AI campuses across 53 countries, with 20.6 GW under construction and 5.4 GW of live IT power. Its lead item identified the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus in Piketon, Ohio, as an SB Energy project for OpenAI, and reported that SoftBank disclosed a $3.7 billion charge tied to advance payments for power-generation equipment. The available report does not explain the charge’s effect on project timing or identify a solicitation, contract award, requirements, or procurement contacts.

- The tracker points to a substantial global pipeline for data-center construction and related power, cooling, and equipment supply, but it does not establish a specific government contracting opportunity.
- Infrastructure contractors and suppliers can use the reported project pipeline to assess market demand; the Piketon campus is a geographically specific development to consider in that assessment.
- Because the SoftBank item lacks detail on schedule or procurement effects, the reported charge alone is not evidence of a delay or a change to a contracting opportunity.
