The rapid expansion of data centres and AI is reshaping electricity demand at an unprecedented pace — creating new pressures on grids, planning frameworks and decarbonisation efforts. As digital infrastructure becomes more central to economic growth and innovation, energy systems must evolve to remain stable, flexible and sustainable.
Join energy, technology and infrastructure leaders to explore:
- How data centres and AI are changing electricity demand profiles and what this means for grid stability
- The role of microgrids, on-site generation and energy storage in managing energy surges and improving resilience
- How grids can be designed to accommodate growing digital demand while remaining efficient and decarbonised
- The planning, regulatory and technology shifts needed to manage the long-term impact of AI-driven energy growth
