We know AI, data centers, chip manufacturing, EVs, and more technological advancements are bringing a spike in power demand. We know the industry has been running the numbers, taking stock, and strategizing how best to approach this new paradigm. The next logical step in the conversation: Who’s putting the steel in the ground? What are power suppliers currently doing to set the grid up for reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable power when it’s needed the most?
Three competitive power generators join us for this episode to share the major projects they are working on across multiple continents, and new technologies they’ve invested in to support transmission. They share how they are looking at demand growth – and why competition is key to meeting that demand. They shed light on their various involvement in innovative energy solutions such as carbon capture and storage, and how they are meeting the moment by delivering cost-effective, reliable, clean power to feed rising demand.
