• Exploring how grid constraints, AI-driven demand growth and regional infrastructure limits are reshaping where data centers can realistically be developed to avoid nonviable sites and stalled projects
• Assessing how grid connection queues, regulatory complexity and speculative applications impact project timelines to enable more accurate feasibility assessments in congested European markets
• Aligning site selection and development strategies with realistic power delivery horizons to improve confidence in long-term capacity planning and investment decisions

Why this workshop matters

In Europe’s most established markets, grid access has become the biggest determinant of project success. In hubs such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Dublin, data centers already account for a significant share of local electricity demand, creating growing pressure on regulators and connection approvals. This session gives teams a practical understanding of grid systems, connection queues and regulatory processes, while creating opportunities to network with peers navigating similar power and permitting challenges across Europe’s leading markets.
