Key Takeaways

Power availability is now constraining the deployment of racks with May

deployment down 11-12% MoM - a first decline since 2025.

As hyperscalers race to deploy AI capacity, and power availability and speed-to- ASEAN Utilities and Infrastructure

helping underwrite the investment supercycle in energy security.

At the beginning of 2025, rack assembly yields were a key constraint on overall rack

output. Since then, yields have improved significantly and are no longer the primary

driver of month-over-month changes in build volumes. As rack assembly yields have

stabilized, delivery volumes have become increasingly dependent on customer

power infrastructure readiness and availability, which is now the primary factor

influencing deployment and delivery timing. See GB200 and GB300 NVL72 Racks.
