The American Data Center Private Power Forum 2027, taking place on February 24–25, 2027 in Houston, Texas, will bring together data center owners and operators, utilities, independent power producers, technology providers, EPC companies, investors and policymakers to discuss the technologies, business models and strategies shaping the future of AI data center power in America.

For data center developers, power availability can increasingly determine where and how quickly new capacity can be deployed.

The forum will examine how data centers can reduce dependence on constrained grid infrastructure and develop more resilient energy architectures through:

On-site natural gas generation, Fuel cell power generation, Hybrid microgrids, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Behind-the-meter private grids, Renewable energy and long-duration energy storage, Advanced nuclear technologies, Demand response and energy procurement, DC microgrids and advanced power distribution, Integrated generation, storage and control systems

The agenda specifically addresses the transition from traditional backup generation toward permanent on-site power infrastructure, including multi-generator architectures capable of supporting large-scale data center capacity.

The forum will go beyond high-level discussions and explore the technologies, business models and deployment strategies behind resilient data center power.

Key sessions include:

The Future of Power & Energy in American Data Centers

Bring-Your-Own-Generation & the BYONC Era

On-Site Generation: Natural Gas, Fuel Cells & Hybrid Microgrids

BESS for Data Center Resilience
