Programme
11 Nov 2025 Past event
Join us at our Energy and Data Centres seminar on Tuesday 11 November at our CMS London Office - an evening exploring the evolving energy landscape for the data centre sector.
Energy reliability, cost and sustainability are at the forefront of the issues facing the data centre sector.
From the lead times and increased regulatory complexity associated with securing grid connections, to directly connected generation and the prospect of technologies from SMR, to hydrogen, to batteries and grid innovation offering solutions, to the penetration of low carbon power on our electricity networks - the future of the data centre sector and energy sector are ever more intertwined. This event brings together leading voices to discuss both sides of the conversation.
There will also be the opportunity to network with industry peers and experts both before and after the event.
