SUMMARY:Hyperscale Power: Demand Growth\, Grid Reliability\, and the Race for Clean Energy
DESCRIPTION:As electrification accelerates across sectors—from transportation and buildings to advanced computing—electricity demand is rising in new and less predictable ways. While data centers are an important and fast-growing load\, they are part of a broader shift that is reshaping how the grid is planned\, operated\, and financed. This session brings together leaders from AI\, global energy markets\, and utility-scale infrastructure to examine how demand growth is impacting reliability and driving new approaches to power procurement. Panelists will explore the role of flexible demand\, virtual power plants\, and distributed energy resources in maintaining grid stability while enabling clean energy deployment. The discussion will focus on how to balance speed\, scale\, and reliability as the energy system evolves.\n
