In the current rapidly evolving environmental and regulatory landscape, the path to sustainable growth for data centers depends on more than securing today’s megawatts. It requires adapting the infrastructure that delivers them to reduce their environmental impact. This panel explores how hyperscalers and colocation providers can accelerate decarbonisation by partnering with utilities, developers, and regulators to push forward renewable integration and guarantee clean energy from day one. 

  • What lessons can we learn from pioneering projects, such as those in Texas, across the Americas and beyond?
  • How can hyperscalers and colocation providers alike help financiers who are new to the asset class build their financing models?
  • What types of business models are emerging that are enabling new clusters with guaranteed energy from the earliest stages of project development?
