Data center growth is accelerating faster than the grid can keep up, and multi year interconnection delays are creating real challenges for developers and hyperscalers. In this on demand session, Enverus Intelligence® Research (EIR) analysts walk through how leading operators are closing that gap by bringing generation closer to the load, deploying modular bridge power, and rethinking how and where they secure sites.
You’ll get a clear view of what’s driving ISO queue congestion, the technologies enabling faster energization, and the supply chain and policy trends that are reshaping development timelines. This is a must watch for teams exploring bridge power, site strategy, or long term power procurement.
Key takeaways
• Why interconnection delays persist and what timelines look like going forward
• How behind the meter and co located generation cut energization timelines from years to months
• What’s limiting availability of turbines, recips, fuel cells, and transformers
• How land banking and infrastructure arbitrage expand site optionality
• Policy, permitting, and load growth risks every developer should be prepared for
