Synopsis

  • With power consumption estimated to reach 1,000 TWh by 2026 alone, what key challenges are data centers coming up against now – keeping up with demand, grid constraints, or procurement expertise?
  • Data indicates a regional shift in data center growth with much capacity located outside of traditional hubs – where do data centers see the future build-out happening?  
  • What are the challenges and opportunities on this in terms of connectivity, load balancing, and co-benefits?  
  • How can providers overcome the disconnect between market expectations and deliverability, and how is the storage industry best positioned to solve some of these bottlenecks?
