   Smooth operations are the heart of every logistics facility, so it’s no wonder that industrial occupiers are becoming more risk-averse when selecting operational hubs. Resilient infrastructure is essential for industrial occupiers, as any delays or downtime can directly affect profitability. Across global markets, expectations are rising, and the data is clear: demand for robust, scalable, and resilient connectivity is accelerating.

   WiredScore recently partnered with Analytiqa to conduct global research into the importance of digital connectivity for industrial assets, surveying decision-makers across logistics, retail, e-commerce, and light industrial sectors. The findings are striking: 9 in 10 occupiers believe high-quality digital infrastructure is essential or very important to their operations. Yet 70% experienced delays or inefficiencies due to poor connectivity in the past year. More than half are willing to pay a premium of up to 10% for spaces that meet these digital standards.

   So how can asset owners respond and position themselves for success today? Here are five foundational actions you can take now to future-proof your industrial assets and deliver on tenant expectations.

12. The Growing Importance of Power in Industrial Real Estate: Lessons from Heathrow’s Recent Outage

    26 March 2025 3:43 am Comments Off on The Growing Importance of Power in Industrial Real Estate: Lessons from Heathrow’s Recent Outage

    In recent weeks, the world was reminded of just how critical power is to the global economy. A major power outage at Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest transport hubs in the world, disrupted operations and created ripple effects across industries. While the situation at Heathrow was temporary, it was not the only power-outage story to have hit the headlines lately; Chile’s capital Santiago saw a similar situation less than a month before. Both instances have served to underscore an important reality: reliable, resilient, and sustainable power is no longer a luxury, it’s a fundamental requirement for industrial real estate.

    In the realm of industrial real estate, power plays a pivotal role in shaping everything from operational efficiency to tenant satisfaction and long-term viability. Power interruptions, even brief ones, have far-reaching consequences and highlight the requirement for assets to have a seamless transition onto back-up power supply. With the global economy becoming increasingly dependent on continuous supply chains, digital systems, and advanced manufacturing, any disruption to power is a risk to productivity, profitability, and reputation.
