Plugging into the Future: What Data Centres Need from the Energy Transition
Time: 09:10 - 10:00
Date: Wednesday 21st May 2025
Theatre: Plenary
Synopsis
- Will data centres be the epicentre of renewable energy consumption over the next 10 years?
- Unlike traditional industries, data centres ramp up energy consumption over time rather than instantly consuming at full capacity. How is this affecting PPA contract structures, pricing mechanisms, and supplier relationships?
- Data centres are exploring private energy networks to reduce their reliance on the public grid. Will the rise of private networks disrupt the traditional electricity market, or will this drive new collaboration models?
