Power has become the deciding factor in where data centres and AI campuses are built. Grid connections take years, energy prices shape the business case, and land is chosen for megawatts as much as for location. Everything else waits on the people who can secure them.

T4X searches for power, energy and land leadership for hyperscalers, colocation providers, AI campus developers and infrastructure investors, including heads of site selection and energy, power and grid strategists, and the investment and M&A teams that buy and build capacity.
