Important Event Update:
Due to the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape surrounding data centers, power generation, and supporting infrastructure development, we have made the decision to postpone this event and reschedule it for a later date.
As policy discussions continue to evolve, we will reconvene industry leaders once there is greater clarity and a stronger foundation for a productive peer-to-peer dialogue.
We appreciate your interest and look forward to bringing this group together in the near future. We are currently targeting January 2027 for the rescheduled program, subject to final confirmation. Please check back for updates.
Why This Conversation Matters
The energy landscape is changing faster than ever.
AI, data center expansion, electrification, and industrial growth are reshaping energy demand and accelerating the need for new infrastructure. At the same time, developers face increasing scrutiny around permitting, infrastructure readiness, environmental impacts, community expectations, and project execution.
Recent developments across key markets, including Texas and Virginia, have highlighted the growing complexity of delivering energy infrastructure projects. Success increasingly depends on the ability to navigate interconnected regulatory, stakeholder, and infrastructure challenges while maintaining speed to execution.
Join ERM and industry leaders for an engaging discussion on the opportunities and challenges shaping the next generation of energy infrastructure projects.
