Unprecedented Demand. Unmatched Opportunity.

A surge in data centers, industrial expansion, and electrification is reshaping power generation planning across North America. Utilities are under mounting pressure to maintain reliability and add new capacity. IPPs are accelerating project development to capture opportunity. EPCs and OEMs are finding innovative ways to build faster, smarter, and stronger amid supply chain and permitting headwinds.

At POWERGEN 2026, we focused on what it takes to deliver real megawatts and how collaboration across the generation ecosystem can meet the moment.
