Consumers may seldom consider the infrastructure needed to support streaming, internet, email, and gaming. Data centers, complete with a huge amount of servers run 24/7 and enough air conditioning to dissipate the heat such equipment generates, provide a unique and relatively new challenge to the grid. Some utilities now offer unique data center products and data center load has become part of RTO transmission planning. A second component of planning is where to locate these facilities. In light of the nature of the use, development of data centers on brownfields offer a unique set of advantages, including available infrastructure which can position such development as a “best use”. This panel will focus on challenges and perspectives related to development of Data Centers.
