Why this event exists

The firm power gap is growing

Electricity demand from AI, data centers and industry is colliding with a shrinking supply of reliable, dispatchable power.

The challenge is not ambition. It is execution.

Firm Power Connect brings together the buyers who need power and the developers, investors and technology providers capable of delivering it.

Power demand

Rising fast with AI, data centers and industrial electrification

Firm power supply

Not keeping pace with demand for reliable, 24/7 power

Dealmaking required

Closing the gap takes contracts, capital and the right counterparties

Featured speakers

Practitioners, not panelists: the people buying, building and backing firm power.
