Powering the Future: How CyrusOne and E.ON Are Responding to Grid Constraints for Customers in Europe
Power scarcity and grid limitations are emerging as some of the most significant challenges to the data center industry's ability to keep pace with the global demand for cloud and AI services. Grid connection timelines, which previously averaged around 18 months, can now extend to anywhere between 3 and 10 years. Substation developments are encountering notable delays, while upgrades to transmission infrastructure may require more than 8 years to complete.
In this exclusive executive-level panel, leaders from CyrusOne and E.ON will discuss their groundbreaking Partnership focused on innovative local power generation – designed to reduce dependence on the public grid while delivering substantial environmental benefits – alongside grid support, power purchasing agreements and heat management.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into how this strategic Partnership and new engineering approach:
- Provides customers with a runway to large scale growth without utility risk by 2029
- Accelerate data center growth in areas with grid constraints by using local power generation
- Delivers power and cooling to the data center, and heat to communities
- Reduces total power consumption and dramatically improves Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
- Enables access to green certificates of origin, helping customers meet carbon neutrality targets
Join us to explore how industry pioneers are navigating energy challenges with scalable, sustainable solutions.
