Big Power Needed Now! How Behind-the-Meter Generation can solve Grid Constraints & AI Power Demand

Data center power is changing — fast. In this 2025 webinar, we break down how AI-driven demand, interconnection delays, and grid congestion are reshaping how large-scale data centers secure reliable power across North America. As grid constraints intensify, developers are increasingly evaluating behind-the-meter generation, hybrid power strategies, and modular natural gas solutions to accelerate speed-to-power and maintain uptime. In this session, we cover: • Why Alberta built ~12 GW of load over 80 years — yet now faces ~20 GW in the interconnection queue • Why grid connectivity is no longer guaranteed • Behind-the-meter vs grid-connected data center strategies • Natural gas vs turbines vs reciprocating engines • Reliability modeling (99.9% uptime explained) • Ramp-rate resilience for AI training & inference workloads • Battery Energy Storage (BESS) integration • Lead times and deployment timelines for 50–500+ MW projects • Economic modeling: IRR, CapEx, OpEx comparisons This webinar is designed for: Data center developers, hyperscalers, AI infrastructure planners, power engineers, utilities, and energy investors navigating today’s grid-constrained markets. Presented by Matthew Swinamer, Technical Sales Engineer at Collicutt Energy Services, specializing in distributed generation and scalable onsite power solutions for mission-critical infrastructure. If you’re evaluating: • Behind-the-meter data center power • Natural gas power for AI workloads • Distributed generation at scale • Grid interconnection alternatives this session provides a practical, engineering-based perspective.
