Panel: Energy lynchpin - Why power is the key to infrastructure investment
Power has become the defining variable in digital infrastructure investment. While demand for data centers, AI compute, and connectivity continues to surge, access to reliable, scalable, and affordable power is increasingly determining where capital is deployed, which projects move forward, and how quickly infrastructure can be brought to market. From utility capacity and renewable energy procurement to transmission constraints and emerging power solutions, energy considerations now sit at the heart of investment decisions. This panel will explore why power has become the lynchpin of infrastructure growth and how investors, developers, and energy providers are adapting to a new investment landscape.
- How is power availability influencing investment decisions across data centers, networks, and wider digital infrastructure?
- What factors are shaping the most attractive markets for infrastructure investment from an energy perspective?
- How can developers, investors, utilities, and energy providers collaborate to unlock growth and ensure power does not become a barrier to future infrastructure development?
