ICF provides solutions that make smart decisions possible—without slowing progress. See it in action What we doExpertise where it matters most Energy access, regulatory hurdles, and community concerns add time and complexity to data center development, but the right strategies create win-win solutions for all stakeholders. Speed Speed is critical for successful data center developments and the utilities and communities supporting them. Our strategies can help secure resources and clear hurdles faster. Access Data centers need access to energy and viable sites. Stakeholders need access to economic benefits. We deliver both—helping you secure investment and ensuring affordable, reliable energy to power growth. Trust Engaging with the local communities can make all the difference for projects advancing. We help you understand and address community sentiment to shape solutions with lasting benefits. Navigate the big decisionsA few key decisions determine the speed, economic returns, and community impact of data centers. We use data, insights, and industry-leading expertise to help you make those decisions—and execute them. Smart policies Ideal locations Rapid power solutions Lasting community trust We don’t just navigate policy—we inform it. Our deep analysis and expertise underpins forward-thinking policies that accelerate data center development while ensuring regulatory alignment, energy affordability, and community input.

Proof in practice

We helped the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency establish ENERGY STAR standards for data center efficiency, the industry’s gold standard.

We identify high-potential locations that balance infrastructure readiness, environmental permitting, speed to market, and long-term returns. From fiber to power to permitting—we know what makes a site work.

Proof in practice

We helped Google, Meta, and AWS build 10,000+ miles of fiber to unlock new data center locations.

We ensure data centers have the reliable and affordable energy they need. Our experts connect you to the grid, provide off-grid solutions, assess long-term power cost dynamics, and evaluate load flexibility options.

Proof in practice

Facing some of the fastest electricity demand growth in the U.S., we helped Georgia Power assess data center load impacts, then implemented energy efficiency programs to reduce data center energy use.

Putting community outreach first ensures lasting impact. We engage communities and local governments early and often, building trust, sharing knowledge, and shaping solutions that reflect their needs and concerns.

Proof in practice

We advised Loudoun County, Virginia—home of Data Center Alley—and the Metropolitan Council of Governments on data center growth projections, community education, and solutions to maximize benefits while reducing negative impacts.
