Data Centre Watch covers data centre growth, cloud capacity, energy, cooling, land, regulation, and the race to host more AI workloads. It sits under Chips, Clouds & Machines and gives the site a more focused home for this subject. The goal of this category is to make the topic readable, useful, and consistent for a broad audience rather than only for specialists. Posts here should explain what changed, why it matters, what people should watch next, and where the practical consequences will show up first. The section should work well for both fresh news and evergreen explainers, so articles can support daily publishing while also building search value over time. Strong pieces in this category should link naturally to related stories, guides, comparisons, and background articles elsewhere on the site.

Used well, this category can become a dependable archive, a traffic source, and a strong internal-linking hub that helps readers move from one useful topic to the next.
