| Onsite power is gaining momentum as large power users look for faster, more reliable and more controllable energy supply. This topic explores technology selection, permitting, fuel access, integration, economics and operating strategy for self-generation across data centers, industrial sites, campuses and other large-load applications. It is about what it really takes to develop, build and operate megawatt-scale generation at or near the point of use.

America’s data center boom is running into a grid-sized problem
America’s data center boom is moving fast, but the infrastructure needed to power it isn’t always keeping pace. From transmission and fuel constraints to construction setbacks, major projects are finding that turning billions of dollars in investment into energized megawatts can take longer than planned.
