Big Power Needed Now! How Behind-the-Meter Generation can solve Grid Constraints & AI Power Demand

Описание: Data center power is changing — fast.

In this 2025 webinar, we break down how AI-driven demand, interconnection delays, and grid congestion are reshaping how large-scale data centers secure reliable power across North America.

As grid constraints intensify, developers are increasingly evaluating behind-the-meter generation, hybrid power strategies, and modular natural gas solutions to accelerate speed-to-power and maintain uptime.

In this session, we cover:

• Why Alberta built ~12 GW of load over 80 years — yet now faces ~20 GW in the interconnection queue
• Why grid connectivity is no longer guaranteed
• Behind-the-meter vs grid-connected data center strategies
• Natural gas vs turbines vs reciprocating engines
• Reliability modeling (99.9% uptime explained)
• Ramp-rate resilience for AI training & inference workloads
• Battery Energy Storage (BESS) integration
• Lead times and deployment timelines for 50–500+ MW projects
• Economic modeling: IRR, CapEx, OpEx comparisons

This webinar is designed for:
Data center developers, hyperscalers, AI infrastructure planners, power engineers, utilities, and energy investors navigating today’s grid-constrained markets.

Presented by Matthew Swinamer, Technical Sales Engineer at Collicutt Energy Services, specializing in distributed generation and scalable onsite power solutions for mission-critical infrastructure.

If you’re evaluating:
• Behind-the-meter data center power
• Natural gas power for AI workloads
• Distributed generation at scale
• Grid interconnection alternatives

this session provides a practical, engineering-based perspective.
