The Moment the Industry Is Facing
Unprecedented
Power Demand.
Now.
AI, hyperscalers, and digital infrastructure are driving electricity demand at a scale the grid was never designed to absorb. Generation, interconnection, and power reliability are no longer secondary concerns for data center leaders — they are existential ones.
Built for Data Center & Power Leaders
Six Reasons You Can't
Miss DPX 2026
The Only Power-First Data Center Conference
DPX is purpose-built around the question every data center leader is asking: where does the power come from? Created by POWER Magazine — the industry's editorial authority since 1882 — every session is designed to answer that question with clarity and credibility.
Policy Where It's Made — Washington, D.C.
D.C. is ground zero for the interconnection reforms, permitting overhauls, and grid investment decisions shaping data center power access. Being here — adjacent to FERC, DOE, and Northern Virginia's hyperscaler corridor — is itself a strategic advantage.
Make Better Decisions, Faster
Cut through uncertainty around load growth, interconnection queues, cost, and policy — and leave with clearer paths to execution. DPX is structured for decision-makers who need to act, not just learn.
The Right People, All in One Room
Utilities, data center operators, developers, policymakers, investors, and technology leaders — together in a single, highly curated environment. DPX is where the power sector and the digital infrastructure world finally speak the same language.
Grid. Generation. Growth.
The DPX program is built around three interlocking themes: interconnection and transmission capacity, on-site generation and energy mix strategies, and scaling infrastructure to meet accelerating AI-driven demand. Every session moves from constraint to execution.
Co-Located with Experience POWER 2026
DPX is co-located with Experience POWER — the utility industry's premier conference — at the Omni Shoreham, September 28–October 1. Upgrade to the POWER Pass+ to access both events and bridge the full power generation and data center ecosystem in a single trip.
Conference Program
Grid. Generation.
Growth.
Data Center POWER eXchange is structured around the three themes that define the industry's most urgent challenge. Sessions are curated by POWER Magazine's editorial team — engineers and journalists, not sales staff — and designed to move from challenge to action.
Interconnection reform, transmission capacity, queue management, and the system-level constraints that determine whether data center power actually gets delivered.
On-site power, behind-the-meter generation, energy mix strategies, and reliability planning for facilities that cannot tolerate downtime.
Scaling digital infrastructure to meet accelerating AI-driven demand — from hyperscale campus development to co-location strategy and capital deployment at speed.
