The Australian data center developer said its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization was revised to between A$245 million ($172 million) and A$265 million, down from A$385 million to A$410 million, in a statement to the Australian stock exchange.

这一挫折凸显了澳大利亚数据中心建设潮面临的挑战。澳大利亚联邦银行估计，到2030年该领域投资可能达到1500亿澳元。这些高耗能设施需要可靠的24小时电力供应，而与此同时，该国正在关停老化的燃煤电厂，并更加依赖波动性的风能和太阳能。除非发电、储能和电网容量方面的投资同步跟进，否则计划中的扩张可能会被推迟。
The setback highlights a challenge confronting Australia’s data-center buildout, which Commonwealth Bank of Australia estimates could reach A$150 billion by 2030. The energy-hungry facilities require reliable around-the-clock electricity supply, just as the country is retiring aging coal plants and relying more heavily on variable wind and solar. Unless investment in generation, storage and grid capacity keeps pace, the planned expansion could be delayed.
