As AI transforms the scale and urgency of data center development, energy infrastructure is being reimagined from the ground up. This panel convenes leaders in onsite generation, modular power systems, and energy partnerships to examine how developers are accelerating deployments while navigating grid delays, regulatory hurdles, and sustainability mandates. From natural gas and microgrids to fully integrated backup systems, what will define the next-generation energy backbone—and who is best positioned to build it?
Focus Themes:
AI-driven power intensity and infrastructure urgency
Time-to-power as a competitive edge Onsite vs. grid-dependent power strategies
Modular and prefabricated energy solutions
Reliability, carbon impact, and deployment speed
