![Data centers seem to be moving to the front of the line — at least for some equipment — thanks to the jaw-dropping amounts of cash they have on hand. Utilities, meanwhile, often must finance purchases for major pieces of infrastructure.
Harry Sideris, president and CEO of Duke Energy, said at a CERAWeek panel that his company has been doing things they’ve “never dreamed of” to serve data centers.
“We got Caterpillar reciprocating engines on the back of a flatbed — a tractor trailer — to get somebody online three months earlier because they’re making $10 million a day,” Sideris said.
That $10 million a day — that’s for just one data center, he said.
“The cost of doing that is negligible to what they’re making, so doing creative things [to bring them online] is really powerful for them,” Sideris said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreiho4b7y43wjubjq7jmkfpulmqtg3zybxyt77zsakpa6m4k2hi2sn4)
