Roundtable
London - June 19th
Powering the Future: Sustainable, Secure, and Smart Energy for UK Data Centres
The UK’s data centre industry is facing a critical juncture as it navigates soaring energy demands, grid constraints, and the transition to net-zero. With rapid digitalisation, AI expansion, and sustainability targets pushing the sector to innovate, how can data centres ensure resilient, cost-effective, and green energy supply?
This exclusive roundtable brings together key stakeholders from the data centre, energy, and policy sectors to discuss the evolving energy landscape. From power purchase agreements (PPAs) and grid flexibility to on-site generation and hydrogen integration, we’ll explore the solutions shaping the future of sustainable and secure data centre operations in the UK.
