📊 Grid operators planned for zero load growth since 2013. They now forecast 25% more peak demand by 2030. ⚡ Data centers went from grid customer to grid constraint in under three years, and JLL projects the market doubles to 100 gigawatts by 2030. We sit down with Patricia (Data Center Marketing) and Dawn (Power Systems Strategy) at Cummins on how operators secure power the grid cannot yet deliver. In this episode, you will learn how to: 🔌 Plan bridge-to-grid power around interconnect queues running two to five years. 🏗️ Site builds around available power, not land, fiber or tax abatements. 🤝 Dispatch onsite assets to support the grid through summer peak events. 📈 Test emerging tech against five nines reliability before designing around it. Stop letting interconnection backlogs hold your capacity roadmap back. Hear the playbook for bridging the power gap and keeping communities onside.
