Data centers now range from small modular deployments to campuses approaching a gigawatt of demand, but not all growth is created equal. This panel will explore how the size and concentration of data center development affects grid interconnection, infrastructure planning, power procurement, and community impacts.
We'll discuss the tradeoffs between distributed facilities that can often connect quickly to existing infrastructure and mega-campuses that require entirely new generation, transmission, and utility investments. Can large campuses justify building their own power resources, storage, and long-term energy solutions, or is a more distributed model the better path forward?
For energy professionals, developers, utilities, and infrastructure planners, this conversation gets to the heart of one of the most important questions facing the industry: what should the next generation of data center growth actually look like?
