Power Density Is a Contractual Problem Not a Technical One

Power density rarely fails because engineers get it wrong. It fails because contracts quietly misallocate risk.

This report explains how capacity is sold, priced, and reserved in ways that separate technical capability from economic reality. It examines how providers price committed power versus consumed power, how unused capacity is absorbed or penalized, and how contracts protect platforms when customers underutilize what they reserve. You’ll see why building for high density does not guarantee high utilization, and how power assumptions flow directly into financing, leasing strategy, and valuation.

If power density is being discussed primarily as an engineering challenge, this report shows what’s missing.
