Panel: How to de-risk your energy provision

Tuesday 2 June 2026
Discovery Stage, hosted by Schneider Electric
Green Zone

Power provision for data centres in Europe is becoming harder to secure, harder to permit, and harder to predict. Grid connection queues are lengthening, non-firm access is becoming the norm, and AI workloads are introducing power quality demands the industry hasn't faced before. For operators, the question is no longer just "where do I get power?" — it's "how do I de-risk my energy provision?" 

  • What de-risking strategies are proving effective? 

  •  Where are operators still exposed?  

  • And what can Europe learn from markets that faced these challenges first?
