Panel: Scaling Smarter: How Alternative, Bridging Power Solutions & BESS Accelerate Data Center Deployment
2:30 pm
- Evaluating natural gas engines, hydrogen, SMRs, fuel cells, and geothermal: what are the options for speed to market, scalability, and reduced environmental impact?
- Defining how energy choices will impact your facility’s emissions and sustainability targets
- Evaluating bridging power as both a temporary and quasi-permanent solution: can it realistically meet the required MW load for today’s high-density data halls
- Evaluating where BESS fits into long-term energy planning to boost reliability, accelerate energization timelines, and reduce operational emissions
