Behind-the-Meter Debate
Join energy and infrastructure leaders as they debate whether behind-the-meter power strategies are reshaping the role of the modern data center.
Emerging from the backdrop of AI’s rapid rise, grid constraints, regulatory scrutiny, and demand of power, the Energy Summit at DCD Connect | Virginia brings together hyperscalers, colocation and cloud providers, utilities, power solution providers, policymakers, investors, and data center developers. The summit will address securing, structuring, and scaling power, while adressing knowledge and collaboration gaps. Discussions will focus on the evolving power mix, bankable financing models, engaging local communities, and best practices for balancing speed and costs.
