Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Data Center Exchange: Building trust in cata center development with Mara Ervin
Q: How can communities be brought into the process early to avoid moratoriums and opposition?
By creating structured, participatory work sessions with stakeholders, educating the public about digital infrastructure, and building a community playbook that aligns project goals with local needs from the outset.
The Data Center Exchange: Building trust in cata center development with Mara Ervin
Q: What drew Mara toward adaptive reuse and community engagement in data center development?
Her path started with a chance entry into the industry, a fascination with technology, and a deliberate pivot to focus on adaptive reuse and community engagement to address space, power, and local impact.
The Risk Behind The Racks: Capital, Complexity and Data Centre Delivery
Q: What signs show developers are giving away value in negotiations, and where is value being protected or eroded?
The guest notes that there is a trend toward more stringent SLAs and liquidated damages in EPC contracts, with developers increasingly bearing risk due to labor shortages and aggressive timelines. This shift reduces the certainty and protections negotiators can secure, impacting long-term value and project economics.
The Risk Behind The Racks: Capital, Complexity and Data Centre Delivery
Q: Are you seeing risk management activities happen earlier in the process, or only once problems arise?
Risks are being addressed earlier, with clients engaging risk advisors and outside counsel sooner, especially in pre-acquisition and pre-lease phases. Marsh participates across the ecosystem to provide early, multi-discipline input on site selection, contracts, and procurement strategies to mitigate downstream issues.
The Risk Behind The Racks: Capital, Complexity and Data Centre Delivery
Q: How has the risk changed and evolved with the industry's growth and the level of investment in the sector?
The guest explains that risk has scaled with growth, moving from traditional land and power considerations to complex SLA terms, procurement for long lead items, and the need for early risk assessment across the entire value chain, including EPC and financing. He emphasizes that as hyperscalers and NeoClouds grow, lenders and developers face tighter terms and greater uncertainty, making proactive risk management essential.
