As AI and cloud growth increase demand for data centers and industrial infrastructure, the ability to deliver power reliably, affordably, and at speed has become a defining competitiveness issue. This session will bring together energy, technology, utility, and policy leaders to discuss interconnection readiness, infrastructure sequencing, generation and transmission planning, flexible operations, and the conditions needed to support growth without compromising reliability or affordability. The discussion will also examine how supplier readiness, local workforce capacity, and long-term infrastructure planning can help regions and businesses participate more fully in the buildout required to support digital infrastructure at scale.
