Utilities are struggling to support increasing power demand. Lengthy grid connection queues, along with complex regulatory processes, are creating significant roadblocks to industry growth.

This panel will explore how utilities and operators can work as active partners, including:

  • How operators can partner with local utilities to better manage load fluctuations
  • How to leverage battery energy storage systems (BESS) for grid interactivity
  • How utilities can support data center development without over-reliance on restrictive regulation
  • How operators can provide more accurate and transparent demand forecasting to utilities
