Are You Grid ready? Interconnection, siting and the equipment squeeze.

Powering data centre growth: from grid access to energy strategy

As data centre power demand accelerates, securing reliable electricity is becoming one of the biggest challenges facing developers and technology companies.

Watch the webinar recording from Wood Mackenzie experts and industry leaders, featuring practical insights into the infrastructure constraints, technologies and energy strategies shaping the next phase of data centre development.

Power availability is becoming one of the biggest constraints on data centre delivery. Interconnection queues, transformer shortages and grid availability can add years to project timelines.

Explore the bottlenecks between a signed load and delivered electrons, and how developers are navigating them.

Wood Mackenzie opening keynote: “The supply-chain and interconnection constraints defining data centre delivery”

What we covered:

• What is driving “phantom projects” and how they can be removed without penalising genuine demand
• When transformer and critical grid-equipment supply constraints are likely to ease
• How grid availability is shaping data centre siting decisions
• Whether behind-the-meter generation offers a genuine alternative to the grid
