Data centers are experiencing increased scrutiny, potentially leading to credit rating downgrades as highlighted by S&P Global Ratings. Public opposition has resulted in moratoriums and cancellations, creating a challenging environment for the sector. These actions are exerting downward pressure on the creditworthiness of data center operators.
