Webinar: How Large Load Growth is reshaping America's energy future
The energy landscape is changing faster than ever. Are you prepared?
Massive data centers, industrial facilities, and other large energy consumers are driving unprecedented demand across the US power grid. This surge isn't just changing where and how we generate electricity, it's fundamentally reshaping energy prices, grid reliability, and the path to a sustainable energy future
What you'll discover in this webinar:
- The real scale of growth: Exclusive data on gigawatts in utility large load queues by project status, mapped across regulated and deregulated markets
- Data center trends: Latest trends in data center geographic location and utilization of on-site and adjacent generation
- Market impact analysis: Bottom-up project pipeline insights combined with top-down utility capacity commitments
- Grid response reality: How gas and coal fleets are adapting to early load growth, and the cost and reliability implications for load growth continuing to scale
- Supply side considerations: Essential trends in thermal generation, generator interconnection challenges, and evolving power price patterns
