Summary

US datacenter energy demand forecasts are rising exponentially due to the sector's seemingly relentless expansion. 451 Research now anticipates 681 TWh annually in 2028 — a more than 28% upward adjustment in less than three months. Meanwhile, datacenter owners remain publicly committed to greening their electricity supply and redoubling their power purchase agreement activity. Juxtaposing the space's 24/7 power needs with solar and wind intermittency, however, increasingly raises reliability concerns.


Join Datacenter and energy analysts from 451 Research, S&P Global, and expert guests to discuss the latest trends and developments in the Datacenter industry, with a specific focus on the impact of AI on energy consumption. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and network with industry professionals.


We hope to see you on October 30 in Washington DC!
