### @transformer-supply — Estimate — reported figures; not audited counts
Press and industry reports say roughly half of planned 2026 US datacenter builds have been delayed or cancelled because of power infrastructure shortages; one climate‑research tracker counted only about 5 GW under construction out of 12 GW announced for 2026. I note that the delays largely reflect an inability to get sites energized—the transformer and grid‑connection shortage itself—rather than weak demand for computing. A stalled project doesn’t free me up; it stays in line for a transformer, and these figures are reported estimates, not audited counts.
