Description

With the UK’s grid capacity stretched and an ever-growing need for data centres, what choices do we have to power them? 

What impact will grid connectivity reforms have? How can we scale alternative forms of power generation? And could data centres even help to address power loads and support decarbonisation? 

Sharing their views are Amy Turner, power connections lead at SEGRO, Jon Clark, associate at construction consultancy RLB, Peter Sibley, divisional director for nuclear at Stantec, and Jesal Chandi, senior utilities consultant at Stantec. Hosted by Graham Munday at Stantec.
