If you work on Australia’s data center infrastructure, you’ll already be familiar with the energy and infrastructure pressures that come along with that. The question is: Can our energy system keep pace with the nation’s escalating demand?

In the first of this two-part episode of Here Today, Here Tomorrow we go in search of answers. Ashurst Perkins Coie’s Alexandra Peace is joined by colleagues Kate Muller and Mike Webb to discuss how data center operators can meet government expectations to provide their own power and offset demand with renewables. They also consider how to bridge the funding gap, how to withstand grid disturbances, and how the current regulatory framework may no longer be fit for purpose.
