Arguably the hottest topic both in data center infrastructure as well as in the power sector; how are we powering it? The race is on as operators work to meet the demands of their hyperscale clients without disrupting activity on the local grid system. Our speakers guide us through: 

  • How are goals for clean energy factoring into operators evaluations of power sources? Is nuclear a red herring only available as an option to hyperscale clients?
  • How are load growth forecasts from utilities and grid operators affecting pricing for new data centers?
  • New technologies and strategies improving baseline efficiencies for Data Centers: Do more efficient models definitively mean less overall electricity demand? Or will it create more accessible power on the grid?
