Connect | London // DCD>Debate: Embracing alternative energy sources - Are we ready to have the conversation?

As Europe's digital infrastructure rapidly expands, driven by cloud computing, AI, and data localization demands, the energy footprint of data centers has become a critical concern. With renewable sources like wind and solar facing intermittency challenges, and grid capacity stretched thin in key regions, the debate intensifies around whether nuclear, biogas/biomethane and other alternative energy sources should play a more prominent role.

This debate will explore whether Europe's data center industry can meet its sustainability and growth goals without embracing a broader energy mix that includes nuclear power.
