At The Energy Future Forum 2026, Power described Digital Realty as a company "solely focused on building, owning and operating data centers" and stated that the industry is "at such a much important time." He said the company is "investing alongside the utilities to strengthen the grid" and noted that the data center industry in the US "is bigger than the automobile industry in terms of workers today."

He described the first quarter of 2026 as a "record start" and said the company signed "the largest single lease in digital realy history this quarter, a 200 megawatt AI inference-oriented lease with a double A rated hyperscaler in Charlotte." Power stated that the company's development pipeline "scaled by more than 60% to 16.5 billion" and that Digital Realty has "roughly three gigawatts" of operating capacity with another "6 gigawatts that we own today." He also noted the successful raise of an inaugural hyperscale data center fund, saying it "improves our strategic position by enabling us to continue to meet the growing and diverse needs of our hyperscale customers without overtaxing our balance sheet."
