Data Centres: Power, Risk and Resilience
About the Event
Datacentres: Power, Risk & Resilience 2026 will explore the prospective rise of large-scale data centres as one of Europe’s most energy-intensive, demanding asset classes.
With the AI boom poised to restructure Europe’s energy landscape, our event gives the floor for experts in grid resilience, on-site generation and storage development, and data centre planning to discuss the most pressing questions facing the rollout:
This event explores how the rapid growth of data centres, driven by AI and cloud computing, is transforming energy systems across Europe and the UK. It focuses on the challenge of meeting rising electricity demand while maintaining grid stability and decarbonisation goals.
Key themes include the shift of investment beyond traditional hubs to emerging markets, increasing grid constraints, evolving power procurement strategies such as corporate PPAs, and the growing importance of energy access in investment decisions. The agenda also highlights differences between UK and EU regulatory approaches and the role of policy, planning, and market design in enabling sustainable digital infrastructure growth.
Designed for senior decision makers, it provides a platform to share strategies, shape policy, and build partnerships that will define Europe’s digital and energy landscape.
Speaking opportunities and sponsorship opportunities are available for organisations looking to showcase leadership and engage with key stakeholders driving the energy transition.
