After decades of stagnation, power demand is surging. Rapid data centers build-out is adding new, city-scale demands to the grid across the country. This keynote will explore how this new growth in demand is challenging existing institutions, stretching available supply, and prompting creative solutions. We’ll talk about the unique risks and uncertainties of data-center-driven demand, emerging strategies like off-grid and co-located resources, and evolving tariff and clean firm power approaches. The talk will also highlight how near-term data center growth may give way to longer-term electrification, meaning it is time to get ready for a new era of sustained demand growth.
