Connect | New York // Energy Summit: The Power Pit: How to pick the right power mix

Step into The Power Pit for a fast-moving, interactive session where five power specialists covering utility power, diesel generators, BESS, natural gas, and SMRs or nuclear compete to showcase how their solution can be deployed and scaled for the next generation of AI-driven data centers. Each expert delivers a quick, timed pitch designed to help you compare options and understand how each technology can work to shape the future power landscape.

Speakers will answer a standardised set of questions covering:

• Challenges, opportunities, and deployment
• Partnerships and collaborations from site selection to build
• Negotiating permitting, contract and financing structures
• Speed to grid access and utilisation
• Carbon utility and intensity

Afterwards, panellists have 60 seconds for a rebuttal round before their time runs out. Using Sli.Do, you’ll have the chance to pick the power category that offers the most potential and where the industry should focus most.

Expect to learn about navigating the challenges, opportunities and hybrid strategies that need to be deployed. We’ll be taking a dive into realistic timelines, genuine cost-drivers, how the energy mix can support clean targets, along with the financial terms making deals bankable.
