The Onsite Generation, Energy Storage & Grid Interaction for Data Centers Forum is the premier senior-level gathering dedicated exclusively to the most critical issue facing the data center industry today: power availability.

As hyperscale cloud providers, AI infrastructure developers, and colocation operators race to expand capacity, access to power has become the primary constraint on growth. Across North America, utilities are struggling to accommodate unprecedented load requests, while grid interconnection timelines in key markets have stretched to five, seven, or even ten years. At the same time, AI-driven demand is accelerating power requirements far beyond historical forecasts, forcing operators to rethink traditional approaches to infrastructure development.

This forum brings together the executives responsible for solving these challenges. The audience includes hyperscalers, data center operators, developers, utilities, transmission providers, investors, EPC contractors, engineering firms, and technology providers who are shaping the future of digital infrastructure.

Over two days, attendees will explore the practical strategies being deployed today to accelerate time-to-power and secure future capacity. Discussions will cover onsite generation, battery energy storage systems, microgrids, utility partnerships, transmission expansion, grid interconnection, energy procurement, bridging power solutions, and the role of natural gas, renewables, fuel cells, and emerging technologies in supporting next-generation data center growth.

Unlike broader data center conferences, this event focuses exclusively on the energy infrastructure that enables development. Through case studies, technical presentations, panel discussions, and peer-to-peer networking, participants will gain direct insight into the projects, partnerships, and investment decisions that are defining where and how data centers can be built over the coming decade.

For organizations involved in developing, operating, financing, engineering, or powering data centers, this forum provides a unique opportunity to connect with the industry’s most influential decision-makers and gain practical strategies for navigating the power challenges that will determine future growth.
