What Industry Leaders Are Saying
I'm excited to join the conversation around one of the industry's most important emerging challenges: how we accelerate edge data center development while designing interconnections that support grid reliability, resilience and speed-to-power
Lee Angers, Senior Project Manager, EDGE Infrastructure Partners
None of us can say exactly what the demand curve looks like in five years, only that it's steeper than anything we've built for before. Meeting it will take new thinking about where data centers go and how fast they get there.
