As power demand soars and grid capacity struggles to keep pace, data center operators face an escalating challenge: securing reliable, cost-effective power while meeting ambitious sustainability targets. But are traditional procurement models enough in the face of volatile energy markets, regulatory pressures, and intensifying competition? Or is a fundamental shift in energy strategy required?

This panel will explore what a truly robust energy strategy looks like in this new reality. And how can operators build resilient, diversified energy strategies that ensure both stability and sustainability. Can renewables scale fast enough, or is intermittency still too big a hurdle? Will PPAs, on-site generation, and energy storage be enough to secure long-term stability? Is nuclear or hydrogen a real solution—or just another costly experiment? And as the push for low-carbon energy accelerates, can operators balance sustainability, cost, and reliability without jeopardizing growth?
