Q4 2025

Charlotte-Raleigh Corridor: Duke Energy IRP Signals Expansion Constraints Ahead

Duke Energy's Q3 2025 IRP filing projected available interconnection capacity declining 40% in the Charlotte metro zone by late 2026. Industrial assets within the Duke service territory - currently priced on warehouse metrics - represent the highest-scoring additions to GRA's NC pipeline this quarter.

Florida Corridor Entry: Central Florida Transmission Infrastructure Ahead of Awareness

Hyperscaler job postings in the Orlando-Tampa corridor increased 67% year-over-year in Q2 2025 with no corresponding increase in publicly marketed power-enabled industrial inventory. GRA activated Florida origination coverage in August 2025 as the pre-market window opened.

Southeast Broker Coverage Expanding: 12-Month Window Before Arbitrage Closes in Primary Corridors

Institutional brokerage team deployments into Southeast power corridors accelerated materially in Q1 2025. GRA's assessment: 12–18 months before primary corridor pricing reflects digital infrastructure demand. Secondary corridors (AL, SC, MS) represent the next pre-market opportunity window.

Why the Southeast Corridor. Why Now.

$2.5T
Committed US Digital Infrastructure Investment

Total investment in US data center and AI infrastructure as of early 2025, projected to exceed $6 trillion by 2030. The demand is capital-committed and schedule-driven. The constraint is not funding - it is power access and site availability.

165%
Projected Increase in Data Center Power Demand by 2030

AI compute infrastructure is driving power demand at a rate the grid cannot match through new interconnection alone. Assets with existing power infrastructure represent the only near-term path to energisation for operators on 12-month deployment cycles.

5–8 yr
Average US Grid Interconnection Queue Timeline

The average interconnection request now takes 5–8 years to resolve. Operators with 12-month deployment mandates cannot wait for new interconnection. Existing power-enabled assets are the only viable path - and the Southeast has the most underleveraged concentration of them.

500kV
Vogtle-Thomson Corridor - Southeast's Highest-Voltage Transmission Infrastructure

The Vogtle-Thomson 500kV corridor in Burke and McDuffie counties represents the highest-voltage transmission infrastructure in the Southeast outside of major metro substations. Private industrial ownership, motivated seller profiles, and pre-market pricing create GRA's primary origination concentration.
