TVPPA Hot Topics Webinar Takes a Closer Look at Data Centers

As data centers grow larger, draw more power, and appear in more communities across the Tennessee Valley, local power companies are facing new questions about how to plan for and serve these increasingly large loads.

TVPPA’s next Hot Topics Webinar, Data Centers 101: What’s Different, Why It’s Complicated, and What Comes Next, will explore the changing data center landscape and what it means for LPCs across the Valley.

The webinar comes on the heels of TVA’s recent rate change related to data center load and will take a practical look at some of the questions utilities are confronting as development accelerates: Who pays for the infrastructure required to serve these large loads? How can utilities protect existing ratepayers while supporting economic growth? What planning and governance tools are utilities and policymakers using to address data center development?

McGuire Whitney Principal Elizabeth Whitney will lead the discussion, providing context around the issues utilities may face as data center interest grows and helping participants better understand the questions their systems should be asking now.

Data Centers 101: What’s Different, Why It’s Complicated, and What Comes Next will be held Sept. 22 at 1 p.m. ET/noon CT.Register now for TVPPA’s Hot Topics Webinar: Data Centers 101.
