Event Overview

PowerUp Data Centers 2025 will address the urgent challenges and opportunities presented by the increasing electricity demands of data centers across the United States. A report from the Department of Energy predicts that by 2028, data centers will consume up to 12% of the nation's electricity, necessitating innovative solutions to meet this demand.

The event will explore a mix of conventional and alternative energy solutions, including wind, solar, storage, gas-fired generation, microgrids, and nuclear power. Attendees will gain insights into the policy decisions and tariff structures that will shape the future of energy supply for data centers. Key topics will include:

  • The evolving landscape of energy infrastructure planning and power procurement in response to data center demand.

  • The benefits and drawbacks of collocated projects and onsite power supplies.

  • The implications of new interconnection processes on the timelines for connecting data centers to the grid.

  • Strategies for balancing immediate power supply needs with long-term clean energy goals.

This event will bring together data center developers, policymakers, utilities, and renewable energy providers, fostering discussions on how to effectively power hyperscale data centers while navigating the complexities of energy supply and infrastructure investment. Networking opportunities will allow participants to connect with industry leaders and peers, making it a must-attend for stakeholders in the energy and data center sectors.
