POWER Announces Debut of New Data Center POWER eXchange (DPX) Conference Focused on Power Demand for Digital Transformation

March 7, 2025 | by ltcinsuranceshopper

Rockville, Maryland (March 5, 2025) – POWER, the trusted authority in global energy markets since 1882, today announced the launch of Data Center POWER eXchange (DPX), a new market-defining event focused on bridging the gap between the energy sector and the rapidly growing data center industry. The single-day summit will take place on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency in Denver, one day before POWER’s flagship Experience POWER (EP) conference, scheduled for October 29-31 in the same venue. DPX will focus exclusively on the urgent power demands of data centers, serving as a high-impact precursor to EP’s broader agenda, which will explore industry-wide power trends, including gas power, distributed energy, nuclear, renewables, and emerging power generation technologies.

More than a typical industry summit, DPX is a solutions-driven platform bringing together key stakeholders from the energy and data center sectors. Discussions will focus on the evolving power landscape, investment strategies, regulatory challenges, and the infrastructure needed to support growing data center demand. The agenda will feature leaders from utilities, grid operators, power providers, major technology firms, and data center owners, along with developers and policymakers.

“The rapid expansion of data centers marks a defining moment for the power industry—one that presents immense opportunity but demands urgent action. Incremental adjustments won’t be enough to meet surging electricity demand. Bold, forward-thinking solutions that modernize infrastructure, attract investment, and align regulatory frameworks will be critical,” said POWER magazine Senior Editor Sonal Patel. “Over the next five years, collaboration between power providers, grid operators, technology leaders, and policymakers will be crucial. Data Center POWER eXchange is designed to be that essential forum for both industries—confronting power constraints that could stifle innovation and economic growth while driving strategies that enhance efficiency, fortify grid stability, and ensure sustainable progress.”

The urgency to integrate power and digital infrastructure has never been greater. A 2024 POWER analysis of industry estimates suggests that U.S. data center electricity consumption is projected to grow from 176 TWh in 2023 to between 214 TWh and 675 TWh annually by 2030. Data centers could account for 4.6% to 12% of total U.S. electricity consumption within five years, up from approximately 4% in 2024. A more recent Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) report found that data center load growth has tripled over the past decade and could double or triple again by 2028.

The challenge is clear: without coordinated solutions between power providers, grid operators, and data center leaders, the strain on energy systems will accelerate. A November 2024 Gartner report predicts that by 2027, 40% of AI data centers will face power shortages, forcing companies to seek off-grid power solutions that could drive up energy costs and impact grid stability. Beyond reliability and cost, energy access is now a competitive advantage in the global AI race. Sustaining AI and computing growth will require carefully coordinated public-private efforts to ensure secure, scalable power infrastructure and drive innovation.

Registration for Data Center POWER eXchange and Experience POWER are now open. Attendees can register separately for each event or access a special rate to attend both. Sponsorships are also available for both events. Register for DPX and learn more at DataCenterPowerExchange.com.
