Sure.
I was just given this in when I checked into the hotel and said, put it on.
So I did.
I didn't miss it.
Very good.
I was too tired to ask questions.
I just did what I was told.
Yeah, so Europe, similar story.
It's all about availability of power.
Where can you get land and power in a suitable location?
One of the interesting things we're seeing is a lot of data center operators partnering up with power companies and looking at how they can solve that generation, transmission, distribution challenge.
A lot of companies as well in a similar vein kind of looking to see
work with power generation companies and say, look, have you got land on the site or close by?
And this is across Europe and the Middle East as well, where we could actually take that land and develop a data center and offer services to the market that way.
There's an awful lot of planned capacity in Europe in particular and the kind of length of time to obtain the power and get the power delivered to site is still something that's
to be determined if you like so we're watching really closely about the the planned capacity in all the markets across europe uh just to see what we can learn about at when when's that power actually going to be on that site and developed and available to the marketplace it's further further convoluted the situation by some companies will not start building at all until they have a customer so that's going to make the ready for service date even longer
In the Europe and Middle East market the permitting and the planning and the regulatory framework is extremely complex and that adds length of time to projects as well and then on top of that you've got a shortage of skilled labour of specialists, of experts
who can actually come and develop data centres and get them up and running and realised as live projects in as short a timeframe as possible.
So it's not just about power.
There are other things that factor into the challenge that the market is facing in the Europe and Middle East region.
