About
The massive power demands of the AI revolution are colliding with a congested grid, forcing a historic surge in capacity buildouts.

In this two-part session, we first examine how grid-scale solar-plus-storage projects have risen to dominate new generation capacity additions across the country. Then, we dive into how hyperscale data center operators and heavy system integrators are pairing these assets with private wire configurations and isolated solar parks.

The double-panel discussion highlights how large-scale solar and storage are uniquely positioned to provide the rapid, reliable, and dedicated energy delivery that traditional utility infrastructure currently cannot.
