EQT (total AUM EUR 270 billion) owns EdgeConneX, which has grown to 80 data centers across 50+ markets with CPP Investments committing US$1.75 billion to the EQT/EdgeConneX AI build-out. EQT Infrastructure VI closed at its EUR 21.5 billion hard cap in March 2025, and in April 2026 EQT introduced a dedicated AI Infrastructure strategy citing more than $100 billion of digital and energy assets and an EdgeConneX plan exceeding 10GW. It agreed to acquire Carlyle's Copia Power at approximately $2.6 billion and took Crown Castle's Small Cells business (Arium Networks) in the combined $8.5 billion Crown Castle transaction.

Capital figures come from the Capital Atlas, refreshed every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Site commitments overlap reported capital expenditure and overlap one another, so each figure appears as its source states it and none are added into a single deployment number. Informational, not investment advice.

The SAVRN reference set

Seven references, one system

Capital, delay, policy, water, grid, permits and scarcity are one system seen from seven sides. Each reference is primary-sourced, refreshed on a schedule, and links into the others, so a project can be followed from the money committed to the docket that stopped it.
