The Future of Energy Transition at Data Centre LIVE: London
The data centre industry is entering a new era of rapid expansion, driven by AI growth and the relentless demand for digital services.
Yet as capacity scales, so too does energy consumption, placing the sector at the centre of the global sustainability challenge.
Balancing growth with environmental responsibility is no longer a choice but a necessity for data centres. The future of energy transition is now a serious priority, shaping how infrastructure is powered and operated by data centre professionals.
At Data Centre LIVE: The London Summit, the panel “The Future of Energy Transition” will explore how industry leaders are navigating this shift.
As organisations move towards lower-carbon operations, data centres are playing a critical role in adopting renewable energy, exploring alternative power sources and overall, building long-term sustainability strategies.
This session will examine how innovation, policy and collaboration are converging to redefine energy use across digital infrastructure.
Powering sustainable growth in a high-demand sector
Energy strategy is becoming one of the most complex challenges facing data centre professionals.
With power demand rising sharply, access to reliable and sustainable energy sources is now a key factor in site selection and expansion planning.
Renewable energy procurement, including wind and solar, is increasingly central to reducing carbon footprints, while alternative solutions such as hydrogen and energy storage are gaining attention as part of future-ready strategies.
From advanced cooling technologies to smarter energy management systems, operators are seeking ways to optimise consumption without compromising performance.
At the same time, regulatory pressures and ESG commitments are intensifying, requiring organisations to demonstrate measurable progress towards sustainability targets.
Leaders shaping the energy transition agenda
“The Future of Energy Transition” panel brings together key voices from across the data centre and energy ecosystem, offering insight into how organisations are turning strategy into action.
Among the speakers is Filipe Mota da Silva, Vice President and Head of Energy and Utilities at Coforge, who will share perspectives on how energy innovation is enabling more sustainable infrastructure at scale.
Martin Reed, Global ESG Director of Data Centre Solutions at CBRE, will explore how ESG frameworks and regulatory developments are shaping decision-making across the sector.
Rounding out the panel, Dame Dawn Childs, CEO of Pure Data Centres Group, will bring a leadership perspective on how operators are embedding sustainability into their long-term growth strategies while maintaining performance and resilience.
Join us at Exhibition White City on May 20–21 for Data Centre LIVE: The London Summit. Bringing together industry leaders, innovators and decision-makers, the event offers a platform to explore the trends, technologies and strategies shaping the future of digital infrastructure.
