As grid constraints intensify and energy costs rise, alternative and on-site energy solutions are becoming essential to improving efficiency, reducing emissions and supporting scalable data center growth. In markets like Texas, where a deregulated power market creates new opportunities for direct procurement and flexible energy strategies, this workshop explores how hyperscalers and colocators are integrating renewable and distributed energy systems to enhance resilience, optimize efficiency and accelerate deployment timelines.

• Comparing alternative power solutions available in the region, including natural gas engines, solar-plus-storage and hybrid approaches, to determine which options are getting projects powered fastest
• Understanding why nuclear and small modular reactors remain long-term planning considerations, helping you separate future-state discussions from the solutions that can support near-term delivery timelines in Texas
• Aligning alternative energy deployment with interconnection timelines, permitting requirements and long-term sustainability and ESG targets
