Register Now for The INFOCAST Power Data Centers 2025 – July 21-23, 2025 – Dulles, VA
—
Data Center Developers, Policymakers, Utilities, and Energy Suppliers are coming together to explore how to seize opportunities and address the challenges of reliably powering hyperscale data centers.
A recent report from the Department of Energy predicts that the electricity usage by U.S. data centers will at least double by 2028, potentially consuming up to 12% of the nation’s electricity. This significant increase in energy demand presents a generational opportunity for the energy industry to expand and do so profitably. However, meeting this demand through conventional methods will require substantial new power generation, expedited interconnection processes, and a significant increase in transmission capacity—many aspects of which are unlikely to be available in the necessary timeframe. Therefore, it is clear that conventional methods must be complemented by innovative solutions.
This remarkable event will delve into the combination of traditional and transitional solutions necessary to power data center facilities in the near term. It will explore pathways for these centers to transition to lower-emission power sources in the long term and how to secure the significant capital required to fund the development of data centers and their associated power projects.
PowerUp Data Centers will address complex tariff and policy decisions essential to balancing the use of collocated power generation with the critical investments in transmission infrastructure needed to ensure reliable electric service. The event will highlight the roles that wind, solar, storage, gas-fired generation, microgrids, and nuclear power can play in meeting the substantial and imminent demands of hyperscale data centers. Additionally, it will discuss the deal structures, contracts, and other arrangements necessary to finance some of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in history.
PowerUp Data Centers will bring together key stakeholders, including data center developers, policymakers, utilities, and renewable energy providers, to explore how to capitalize on opportunities and face the challenges of reliably powering hyperscale data centers. Key discussion points will include:
– How unprecedented increases in data center demand are driving policy changes, energy infrastructure planning, power procurements, and energy investments across North America.
– The advantages and disadvantages of employing collocated projects, onsite power supplies, microgrids, and other solutions to provide reliable power to data centers immediately.
– The impact of new interconnection and transmission planning processes on the timelines for connecting data centers to the grid, and the potential introduction of new processes for interconnecting large loads.
– How the sometimes-competing objectives of securing immediate power supplies versus achieving corporate clean energy goals influence power supply agreements, tariff structures, and local permitting.
– What investors, lenders, and other stakeholders are seeking to provide the significant capital expenditures required for today’s hyperscale data center developments and related power projects.
Join us to network with and learn from key decision-makers, industry leaders, and your peers about the challenges and opportunities associated with meeting the power needs of an emerging wave of hyperscale data centers.
