To combat severe utility delays and grid interconnection queues that are delayed by years, operators are adopting new strategies, such as ‘Bring Your Own Power’ and temporary bridging solutions to achieve faster time to power. By utilizing modular and prefabricated infrastructure, alongside the latest energy storage technologies and grid flex, data centers can deploy reliable onsite generation in weeks, rather than years. This episode will explore how to successfully achieve enhanced power access timelines, including how to implement and operate an onsite power strategy. In particular, we will address:
- Which deployment models enable fastest power delivery?
- Navigating potential solutions, including non-firm, ‘flexible’ grid connections
- Which key risks and trade offs impact speed to power decisions?
- Securing reliable power supply chains and partnerships
