Power availability is becoming the biggest barrier to data center expansion in APAC. As grid constraints, renewable integration challenges, and regulatory hurdles create bottlenecks, how can operators, investors, and energy providers work together to unlock new capacity?

This session will explore where energy bottlenecks are most severe, what solutions are being developed, and how investment strategies are evolving to address power constraints. Panelists will discuss collaborative models, emerging technologies, and regulatory shifts that could shape the future of energy security for the region’s data centers.
