As demand for data centers accelerates, so do the challenges of securing reliable, scalable power—particularly in high-growth, high-temperature regions where grid constraints, extreme weather and regulatory scrutiny are reshaping development strategies. Sheppard’s Digital Infrastructure industry team is launching a webinar series, The Big Think Around Data Centers, which will cover the dynamic issues shaping the future of digital infrastructure.
Join us for the first installment, The Big Think Around Powering Data Centers — The Predictable Has Become Unpredictable: FERC & State Regulatory Update. This session will examine how generation developers, hyperscalers and other large-load customers, investors, utilities and operators are navigating the evolving energy regulatory landscape.
Our panel will discuss key Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) developments and state-level issues that are shaping how means to provide new generation will serve large loads.
Designed for leaders across the digital infrastructure ecosystem, this series will deliver practical, forward-looking insights at the intersection of energy regulation, market innovation and technology infrastructure. Join the conversation—and stay tuned for future sessions addressing the next wave of opportunities and challenges facing the industry.
