In this wide-ranging conversation, EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure CEO Lee Kestler joins the Data Center Frontier Show to discuss how the company is navigating the AI-fueled demand wave with a focused, disciplined strategy.

From designing water-free campuses in the Arizona desert to long-term utility partnerships and a sober view on nuclear and behind-the-meter power, Kestler lays out EdgeCore’s pragmatic path through today’s high-pressure data center environment.

He also shares insights on the misunderstood public perception of data centers, and why EdgeCore is investing not just in infrastructure, but in the communities where it builds.
