KBRA releases a report on the emergence of data centers in project finance. Demand for these facilities continues surging due to climbing traffic volumes through the global data center ecosystem, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G applications, and the Internet of Things, as well as a shift in corporate IT activity from on-site facilities to off-site. This has created demand for financing, and some constituents have turned to project finance structures to meet their needs—much of which has been through bank loans, which are expected to be refinanced with private placement debt. KBRA is increasingly receiving inquiries about such transactions, so this research report aims to shed further light on the intersection of data centers and project finance from a credit perspective.
