Powering Data Centers - Thinking beyond basic generation

The highly accelerated need for power driven by AI and data center development has been well covered. Established energy technology companies like Siemens Energy have been supporting utility and industrial power generation and infrastructure for many decades and are now helping this new wave of customers understand the different solutions and use cases, while also dealing with some challenges like supply limitations. Beyond the simple generation challenges of the here and now, they are also outlining new pathways to power resilience, grid stability, and decarbonization. Siemens Energy’s Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships, Jim Mozell, talks through how data centers can achieve power needed in the near term, with a view to optimizing future expansions and developments.
