Description
AI is triggering one of the fastest surges in power demand the data center industry has ever seen—projected to rise 50% by 2027 and up to 165% by 2030 (Goldman Sachs). The question isn’t if power becomes the constraint—it’s how operators respond before power constraints limit growth.
This is a must-attend session for anyone navigating the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and network operations.
You’ll learn:
- What’s really driving the electricity crunch behind AI data centers.
- How leading operators are adapting to massive increases in power consumption.
- How innovations like Fault Managed Power (FMP) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are reshaping communications networks.
