The AI boom is creating a new reality for electric utilities. Utilities will soon need to support gigawatt-scale data center developments while continuing to deliver reliable, affordable power to their existing residential, commercial, and industrial customers. As large-load
requests accelerate and development timelines compress, utilities, regulators, and data center operators are confronting difficult questions around capacity planning, infrastructure investment, grid reliability, and
community impact.

This joint webinar from Data Center Frontier and T&D World explores how utilities and data center developers are working together to address one of the defining infrastructure challenges of the decade: ensuring sufficient power for economic growth without compromising service to existing communities.

The discussion will also address the regulatory, permitting, and public policy considerations shaping large-scale power deployments, including how utilities are balancing customer expectations, ratepayer concerns, economic development opportunities, and long-term grid resilience.
