Tight Supply Chains and Tighter Tax Credit Deadlines Exacerbate Challenges for Data Center and Renewable Energy Operators and Their Contractors

Hyperscale isn’t just a type of data center. It’s also a description of what the electrical equipment ecosystem needs to do to meet the unrelenting demand for transformers, switchgear, and more. If that weren’t enough, demand from utility-scale solar and wind farm construction is putting even more strain on the supply chain.     

Those trends make it tougher than ever to keep those projects on schedule — including to meet safe harbor deadlines for renewable tax credits. Download this new FAQ to learn:

• How evolving tax credit policies and deadlines are evolving and tightening, including under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
• Which types of electrical infrastructure are in particularly short supply for renewable energy and data center projects.
• Why the procurement strategy of spreading orders across multiple vendors can backfire, undermining both the schedule and budget.
• Which five key capabilities electrical contractors, electrical design firms, and their clients should focus on when assessing whether a manufacturer can deliver on schedule.
• How LS ELECTRIC doubled its manufacturing capacity, shortened design timelines, and expanded its U.S. footprint to stay ahead of customer demand.
