Powering AI: Data Centers Need Intelligent Energy Solutions: Why Not BESS?

Monday, June 22, 2026, 01:00 pm - 02:00 pm

ICM München Room 13 B

Over the past few years, there has been consistent growth in the number of data centers. Immense further growth is expected in the coming years, mostly driven by artificial intelligence. The resulting increase in the demand for energy and grid connection capacity (approx. 80%), highly dynamic load profiles and sustainable backup solutions pose major challenges for operators and project developers. This session will highlight how battery storage is opening up new avenues toward a solution to this problem.
