| Powering the Future – Gigawatt-Scale Data Center Development in Emerging Markets
The next session of the Duane Morris webinar series, What’s Watt: Powering the Future – Gigawatt-Scale Data Center Development in Emerging Markets, will be held on Wednesday, April 29, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern.
About the Program
Building at the multi-gigawatt scale is pushing data center development into entirely new territory. These are not simply larger versions of traditional projects. They are more complex, more capital-intensive and far more dependent on creative solutions for power, land and infrastructure. From selecting the right location to ultimately bringing power online, every step in the process requires careful coordination across design, construction, energy strategy and long-term planning.
This session features the leaders behind two groundbreaking developments. One is a Kansas-based project powered by natural gas, solar and next-generation nuclear energy. The other is an international development in Paraguay built around abundant hydroelectric power. Each reflects a different approach to solving one of the industry’s biggest challenges, which is how to secure reliable, scalable and sustainable energy at unprecedented levels of demand.
Join us for a discussion with the decision-makers driving these projects as they share firsthand insights on managing complexity, aligning infrastructure with power and delivering some of the most ambitious data center developments in the world today.
