"Vying for a piece of one of America’s hottest markets... businesses tend to have two things in common. One... they represent a U.S. economy increasingly driven by advanced manufacturing, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The other is that they promise to hoover up huge amounts of electricity." -"U.S. power usage is projected to expand by 4.7% over the next five years." -"The added wrinkle is that it is all happening as many parts of America—corporate America included—are trying to wean themselves off fossil fuels." -"The clean-energy goals of companies and governments are running up against the need for projects to break ground fast." -"“Generally,” Thomson said, “we find the guys with the fastest power win.” " https://lnkd.in/eMiu43HX

2023 was a great year for the advancement to our country’s 9-1-1 system. We’ve seen so many states and regions begin the implementation of next generation 9-1-1, policies proposed, advancements to technology, and much more. Check out our 2023 Next Generation 9-1-1 year in review! https://bit.ly/41fxE9i

In our latest quarterly update, we reflect on the nuanced interplay between market expectations and the intrinsic value of technology companies, but how we still consider the sector to be as exciting as ever.

There’s Not Enough Power for America’s High-Tech Ambitions. The demand is outstripping supply. The constraint usually isn’t generation, it’s transmission and distribution related. We need to see a huge regulatory shift since most existing lines are tapped or almost tapped in major markets. It’s too complicated to build new transmission. Right now, if you want power in Silicon Valley, ~ 7 years if you can get the project through entitlements (which I’m hearing is becoming more and more challenging). Southern AZ is quoting 7 – 10 years for power, central Ohio – 10 years etc. CRE reset continues but it's not getting any speeding tickets. https://lnkd.in/gwuzgtEC
