Data centers and the grid are intrinsically linked, but as the push to renewables advances and energy consumption continues to increase, market participants must examine the long term relationship between these industries to streamline their goals. But how exactly will the market evolve, and how do data centers need to position themselves to modernise their operations?

This episode will provide a high level view of how data centers are adjusting their strategies to become more central to the grid, by increasingly producing their own energy and innovating their operations. Trends around smart grids will also be addressed, and we will explore to what degree data centers will become self-reliant and how utility relationships will develop.
