Connect | London // DCD>Debate: Powering the future - What batteries and backup systems will fuel the AI revolution?

As artificial intelligence continues to drive transformative change across industries, the demand for reliable, scalable, and efficient energy storage has become more critical than ever. As the discussion around AI infrastructure and battery technology continues to evolve, the need to support increased compute and uptime requirements has never been more essential.

This debate will look at trends in battery energy and power density, evolving chemistries (from traditional lead-acid, lithium-ion to emerging electrochemistry and beyond), and the feasibility of deploying batteries at scale as well as key challenges such as sustainability, cost, safety, and grid integration will be debated to shed light on how we can build a resilient energy backbone for the age of intelligent machines.
