Key Questions Answered

  • How can project owners, utilities, and EPCs move fast enough to meet AI and data center load without losing control of risk, cost, or reliability?

  • What should a behind‑the‑meter model look like so data centers get firm power while local ratepayers and communities stay protected?

  • Which design standards, modularization approaches, and digital tools actually accelerate gas power delivery and interconnection for sponsors and EPCs?

  • How can developers and utilities secure grid access and new capacity quickly in constrained markets and congested queues?

  • How should FEED, site selection, and partnership strategy change to deliver multiple data‑center‑driven power projects in parallel?
