Discussion: Self-generation for data centers: Myth or Reality?

—

Session Format

The session will be moderated by a subject matter expert to guide the discussion effectively. It will take place in a boardroom-style setting to promote direct interaction. The format encourages open dialogue and equal participation from all delegates, fostering an environment for collaborative problem-solving and strategic discussions.

Abstract

As technology rapidly advances, demanding greater storage and escalating power needs, the data center industry is increasingly exploring self-generation solutions to secure reliable and sustainable energy. This shift involves complex factors, from site selection to financing, and requires robust infrastructure. Can self-generation truly be the future for data centers, and how will it influence future strategies and planning?

Join this session to discuss innovative approaches to making self-generation a viable solution for data centers.

Discussion Points

  • Addressing current power demands and the push for energy independence: Explore how self-generation solutions can meet the growing power demands of data centers and the increasing need for energy independence.
  • The potential of micro-nuclear power: Investigate the feasibility and potential advantages of micro-nuclear power as a sustainable self-generation option for data centers.
  • Financing models necessary to support self-generation projects: Discuss the financial strategies and models that can enable the development and implementation of self-generation solutions.
