Energy Management for the Datacenter and AI Boom in California
Wednesday, May 7, 1:20 – 2:05 p.m.

California’s energy landscape is rapidly evolving as large energy users—especially data centers and AI-driven operations—expand at an unprecedented pace. With 3.5 GW of new data center capacity set to come online by 2029, the demand for reliable, cost-effective energy solutions is surging.

This session will explore how AI and data center growth are impacting load demand, energy pricing, and contracting structures. Panelists will discuss the energy sources powering these facilities—ranging from renewables and hydro to gas-fired and geothermal—and the tools being used to manage demand, such as microgrids and advanced energy solutions. Additionally, we’ll examine how data center projects are being financed in today’s California energy market, offering insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of power procurement and grid stability.
