# Event Details - **Event Name**: Data Center Panel: How Data Center Size Changes the Energy Problem - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Do gigawatt campuses justify their grid impacts by funding new infrastructure, or are smaller sites the better model?About this EventData centers now span three orders of magnitude, from modular deployments of a few megawatts to campuses approaching a gigawatt. The public conversation treats them as one category and asks whether they use too much power. The more useful question for an energy audience is what shape this buildout should take. A small or modular site can often fit into existing distribution capacity and be energized in months. A gigawatt campus cannot connect to a grid that does not yet exist, and in PJM the average wait from interconnection request to operation now runs past eight years. But scale also creates capability. A gigawatt load can finance its own generation, sign long-term contracts, build storage, and negotiate directly with utilities and regulators in ways a 5 MW operator never could.So which is the better deal? Many distributed sites, easier to site and slot into existing headroom but with less procurement leverage and no ability to fund new capacity. Or concentrated campuses that strain one grid and one community but can bring new generation with them. This panel tests whether there is an optimum, or whether the answer depends entirely on which grid you land on.more information will be announced.50% Promocode: YPEFREEBIE - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york-city/data-center-panel-how-data-center-size-changes-the-energy-problem/100002002621620175 - **Event Categories**: fitness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: West Monroe NY Office - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 12.51, max: 12.51, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York City - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: West Monroe NY Office - **lat**: 40.7614347 - **long**: -73.9865081 - **full address**: West Monroe NY Office, 825 8th Ave, New York City, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Data Center Panel: How Data Center Size Changes the Energy Problem - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Data+Center+Panel%3A+How+Data+Center+Size+Changes+the+Energy+Problem&date=Thu%2C+15+Oct%2C+2026+at+06%3A00+pm&bg=1 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Data Center Panel: How Data Center Size Changes the Energy Problem being held? - **A:** Data Center Panel: How Data Center Size Changes the Energy Problem takes place on Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm at West Monroe NY Office, 825 8th Ave, New York City, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Data Center Panel: How Data Center Size Changes the Energy Problem? - **A:** Data Center Panel: How Data Center Size Changes the Energy Problem is organized by YPE NYC. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
