Over the past two years, data centers have emerged as a trillion-dollar opportunity, driving significant electricity demand in an increasingly digitized economy. This raises critical questions for policymakers, utilities, and consumer advocates: How much demand will data centers create, and can utilities meet it while achieving clean energy targets and equitable cost allocation? Drawing on real-time insights, this panel will share innovative approaches, from forecasting large loads to managing energization queues, as well as explore solutions like new business strategies, tariffs and technology partnerships. Panelists will also discuss strategies for navigating uncertainties and fostering collaboration to build a clean, affordable and competitive electricity grid.
