August 14, 2026 - Power and energy markets are becoming more complex, more volatile and more data-driven. As participants respond to surging demand, supply chain disruption, and emissions requirements, AI and digital platforms are becoming strategic capabilities.
In this session, we’ll dig into what’s driving electricity demand from data centers, and what it means for grid integration, renewable procurement, and investment. We’ll also discuss how AI-driven capacity needs are influencing reliability requirements and shaping investment priorities across electricity markets.
 
What you'll learn:
  • How power demand is growing with rapid expansion of digital infrastructure
  • The operational and planning challenges utilities and grid operators face as load concentrates and reliability expectations rise
  • How renewables and efficiency technologies are being adopted to meet sustainability and performance needs
  • Procurement strategies and reliability requirements shaping project decisions
  • Where AI-enabled growth could impact electricity markets and infrastructure planning globally
