The Rise of Data Centers: Power, Grid, and Climate Questions for New England – An EBC Webinar
April 8 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Large scale data centers are planned for numerous locations in New England, including facilities in Westfield, MA and Waterford, CT, with estimates of up to 35 gigawatts installed nationally by 2030. This joint EBC Energy Resources Committee and EBC Climate Change Committee webinar will explore the real-world impacts of data centers upon the transmission grid, sustainability and New England State climate goals, cities and towns, and ratepayers, and consider what comes next.
Is the current transmission grid robust enough to serve these facilities?
How can data center power demand be resolved in line with New England State climate goals?
What are the best practices to forecast, plan, and mitigate power demand at these facilities, especially during periods of peak demand?
Will cities and towns allow large data centers in their communities?
These questions will be discussed by presenters, with robust opportunity for audience Q&A.
General Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (3.0 training contact hours). Certificates are automatically provided via email link for registered attendees at the conclusion of the webinar.
