How vehicles, storage, and utilities can solve the power crunch
Main Stage
AI didn't create the grid's problems. But it made them impossible to ignore. The surge in energy demand from data centers has forced a reckoning: the grid needs more generation, smarter storage and far more flexibility than it has ever had — all at once. Three companies working at different scales and layers of the energy system — from utility-scale renewable infrastructure to long-duration thermal storage to the distributed capacity inside millions of electric vehicles — discuss what building a resilient grid actually requires, and why the pieces matter as much as any single technology.
