UK leads European coverage with 500+ facilities amid 70 GW of pending connection requests

The United Kingdom dominates LandGate's European dataset with more than 500 tracked facilities concentrated in the London and Slough corridor, where power connection requests now exceed 70 GW. Germany follows with 450+ facilities centered in Frankfurt, where the EnEfG Act will require new builds to hit a PUE of 1.2 or lower from July 2026 and shift to 100% renewable electricity by 2027.

Somerset, N.J. – October 01, 2026 -- Infrastructure AI has introduced Agentic Asset Valuation, a new capability of its Galaxy Agentic Operating System (GAOS) designed to convert real-time building and infrastructure operating data into financial-grade intelligence for underwriting, insurance, and investment decisions.

Platform shifts valuation from periodic snapshots to continuous monitoring

Commercial buildings have traditionally been valued through periodic appraisals, comparable transactions, and engineering reports that capture a single point in time. GAOS instead uses governed AI agents to interpret operational data from HVAC equipment, pumps, elevators, electrical systems, and energy-management technologies, which Infrastructure AI says can reveal equipment condition, maintenance quality, reliability, and future capital needs.
