Data centers are the backbone of the modern economy, and our members are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in capital in new data center facilities across the country to meet unprecedented demand for the digital services that have become increasingly central to Americans’ daily routines and how we live. The way we work, learn, buy groceries, bank, and even access medical care now occurs online. Data centers make this possible by enabling the apps, platforms, and services we increasingly rely on every day to keep us connected in our modern digital lives.
