2026 Large Load and Data Centre Webinar Series (November)

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.

Join Wood Mackenzie experts and industry leaders online in November for practical insights into the infrastructure constraints, technologies and energy strategies shaping the next phase of data centre development.

As data centre power demand surges, developers are taking different approaches to securing the energy they need. From grid connections to gas and emerging clean technologies, these strategies are increasingly shaping energy markets.

Wood Mackenzie opening keynote: “Demand uncertainty and the constraints on getting power”

Panel topics:

• How developers are getting to power fastest today: grid, co-location with existing generation, or on-site bridge generation
• How demand uncertainty affects the contracts developers are willing to sign, including how flexibility in load is negotiated
• What it takes for on-site generation to deliver the reliability a project needs, and how its economics compare with relying on the grid
• How developers are earning community trust, and demonstrating they pay their fair share
