Data Centres Unlocked Understanding the Opportunity for the Energy Supply Chain

About this event

As the global demand for digital infrastructure continues to accelerate, data centres are rapidly emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing industrial and energy-intensive sectors. Yet for many companies operating across the traditional energy supply chain, the market remains relatively unfamiliar, with uncertainty around where the opportunities exist and how their capabilities may be applicable. Data Centres Unlocked: Understanding the Opportunity for the Energy Supply Chain’ will explore the fundamentals of the data centre sector, the key drivers behind its rapid expansion, and why energy, engineering, infrastructure, industrial services and technology companies are increasingly becoming critical participants within the wider data centre ecosystem. Data centres require significant power, cooling, engineering expertise, construction capability, operations support, maintenance, safety systems and long-term infrastructure management , all areas where many EIC members already possess deep experience and transferable capability. The objective of the session is to help attendees better understand where they may fit within this market, where future demand is likely to emerge, and why data centres are becoming an important opportunity for the global energy supply chain.
