Official Event of

Created by POWER magazine, the authoritative voice of the power industry, Data Center POWER eXchange (DPX) is the first forum to bring together utilities, data center operators, policymakers, and investors to tackle the critical energy challenges posed by the rapid expansion of AI, hyperscale data centers, and cloud computing.

The future of data centers is unfolding at an unprecedented pace, and with it comes a massive surge in electricity consumption. If you’re in the energy, infrastructure, or data management sectors, you can’t afford to miss this event. Join us as we dive deep into the opportunities, trends, challenges, and solutions shaping the power demands of the digital age.

What is DPX?

Data Center POWER eXchange is a first-of-its-kind, one-day summit pairing end-to-end power-planning expertise with real-world digital-infrastructure experience. This is the ONLY forum where CEOs of investor-owned utilities, data-center strategists, state commissioners, and capital-market leaders share a single stage—and a single goal: financing and delivering the gigawatts tomorrow’s AI economy requires without sacrificing community trust or grid resilience.

The inaugural DPX program will feature a groundbreaking lifecycle framework to address the collision between data center growth and grid modernization. Structured around three critical phases—Site Selection, Development, and Operations—the agenda integrates cross-sector dialogue, regulatory alignment, and technical innovation.

Topics will include:

The $2T Challenge: How Power and Data Center Leaders Align on Growth and Reliability
Grid Modernization Under Pressure – Siting, Supply Chains, and Transmission Gaps
Fixing the Front Door: Reforming Interconnection Queues for Speed and Clarity
Streamlining Permitting & Regulatory Alignment
Advancing On-Site Power & Dispatchable Generation
Financing the Future: Monetizing Resilience and Managing Policy Risk
AI-Driven Grid Modernization & Predictive Forecasting
Designing Resilient Sites: Colocation, Edge, and Water Strategy
Integrating State Regulatory Innovation: Forward Planning for Data Center Load Growth
Planning in Crisis Mode: What If the Power Doesn’t Show Up?
Collaborative Infrastructure Planning & Trust-Building
Federal Action & Industry Synthesis: Transmission, Permitting, and Policy Outlook
