586GW變199GW!北美資料中心2/3規劃遭打折 外媒曝「殘酷現實」

AI投資熱潮下,北美資料中心待建容量586GW,但僅約199GW具有較高落地可信度。

Quick Look

伯恩斯坦報告指出,北美資料中心待建容量達586GW,但僅約199GW(約34%)具有較高落地可信度。可信容量從7月的136GW增至10月的199GW,增幅約46%。四大科技巨頭貢獻約78GW可信容量,德州監管收緊可能導致項目延期。

Why It Matters

隨著人工智慧投資熱潮推升資料中心建設規模,華爾街投行伯恩斯坦發布研究報告,評估北美資料中心待建容量的落地可信度。

隨著人工智慧(AI)投資熱潮持續推升資料中心建設規模,這些龐大的擴張藍圖究竟有多少能真正落地?華爾街投行伯恩斯坦(Bernstein)發布研究報告指出,其追蹤的北美資料中心待建容量已達586GW(吉瓦),但綜合評估「施工進度、客戶信用、開發商實力及監管風險」後,僅約199GW具有較高落地可信度、占比約34%。這意味著,有近3分之2的規劃容量仍存在不確定性。

不過,伯恩斯坦強調,這不代表其餘計畫將全數取消,而是許多項目仍處於早期規劃階段,施工時間、融資能力及最終交付規模均存在較大不確定性。

文中指出,這個報告還有一個數字更值得關注,就是即使經過風險調整,可信建設容量仍從今年7月的136GW增至10月的199GW,短短3個月大增約46%。換言之,儘管大量規劃項目未必能夠落地,北美具有較高建設確定性的資料中心容量,仍在快速擴張。

根據伯恩斯坦追蹤的資料中心待建容量,從今年7月的411GW,增至8月的488GW,10月進一步攀升至586GW。同期,經風險調整後的可信建設容量,也由136GW增至170GW及199GW,占比分別為33%、35%及34%。儘管規劃規模持續擴大,具有較高建設確定性的容量,占比始終維持在三分之一左右。

報告指出,造成落差的最大因素是項目開發進度。目前約497GW容量仍處於已公布的規劃階段,占待建容量約85%,但可信容量僅123GW,可信度約25%;相較之下,已進入施工階段的項目約87GW,可信容量達75GW,可信度高達86%。

除施工進度外,客戶信用及開發商類型也是重要因素。大型雲端運算企業自行建設的資料中心,可信度約75%,專業資料中心營運商約62%;新興AI雲端服務商則僅29%,由加密貨幣挖礦設施轉型的項目更低至24%。

其中,亞馬遜(Amazon)、Alphabet、微軟(Microsoft)及Meta四大科技巨頭,合計貢獻約78GW可信建設容量,占整體約39%。亞馬遜以33GW居首,其次為Alphabet的20GW、Meta的15GW及微軟的10GW。

另一方面,美國地方政府對資料中心的監管日益嚴格。德州是全美最大的資料中心規劃市場,待建容量約150GW,但伯恩斯坦估計,僅43至44GW具有較高可信度。電網接入及審批限制可能延誤尚未動工的項目,但已進入施工階段的約21GW容量,受到新限制的影響相對較小。

伯恩斯坦認為,監管收緊更可能導致項目延期或建設成本上升,而非大規模取消。資料中心建設通常需要2至3年,電力供應緊張地區甚至更久,短期市場波動並不會立即改變整個產業的建設格局。

整體而言,伯恩斯坦認為AI資料中心建設熱潮仍在持續,但隨著融資能力、客戶信用及監管條件成為左右項目進度的關鍵,具有實際施工經驗、穩定資金來源及優質客戶的企業,將更有機會在這波AI基礎設施擴張中脫穎而出。
