2 articles · Updated · PR Newswire · Jul 28

Summary

  • S&P Global signed a definitive agreement to buy datacenterHawk, adding asset-level intelligence on data center supply, demand, pricing, pipelines and site selection.
  • The deal combines datacenterHawk with S&P Global Energy’s 451 Research and power-market data to give investors and operators a fuller view of AI infrastructure, grid constraints and emerging capacity.
  • Customers are expected to gain analytics spanning compute demand, connectivity, land, supply chains, renewables and sustainability as AI-driven data center expansion reshapes power needs.
  • 2H 2026 is the expected closing window, and S&P Global said the acquisition should not materially affect its financial results or those of S&P Global Energy.
