AI is driving huge demand for data center power and cooling equipment, yet strong industrial suppliers still struggle to win business. Learn why power and cooling must be planned together, who makes buying decisions, and how K&A helped a thermal-engineering firm enter the U.S. and Indian markets.

Solar, storage and EVs create the need for DERMS, but not always a market ready to buy. This region-by-region look at North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East shows where grid software demand is real and how vendors can turn market analysis into a go-to-market plan

Coal-to-gas conversion lets power plant owners modify an existing coal-fired boiler to burn natural gas while keeping the steam turbine, grid connection and site. Learn when it makes sense, what engineering it requires, and how gas supply, boiler condition and remaining life decide feasibility

Coal and gas plants are being asked to run harder than planned. For maintenance and reliability suppliers, that changes how to sell: target the plants that actually have the problem, lead with availability instead of product features, and be known before the emergency call comes

While India’s ambitious 100 GW nuclear target by 2047 offers unprecedented capex and infrastructure opportunities, primary market research reveals that overcoming high upfront capital costs, regulatory bottlenecks, and supply chain constraints will be crucial to success

AI-driven data center growth is creating unprecedented opportunities for technology providers. Learn how power, cooling, engineering consultants, EPC contractors, utilities and hyperscaler procurement shape winning strategies in today's rapidly expanding data center market

Utilities aren't short on AI pilots. What they need are partners who can scale. Our recap of the Reuters Global Energy Forum 2026 covers six takeaways on AI in utility operations, from load forecasting and predictive maintenance to wildfire detection and the role of hyperscalers.

Utility modernization is no longer just about grid software in the control room. At Reuters Global Energy Forum 2026, the discussion moved to DERMS proven at scale, electric fleets, asset ownership and slow, risk-averse procurement. Here are six takeaways for vendors selling to utilities.

As AI and hyperscale data centers accelerate demand for new energy infrastructure, speed of deployment has become just as important as technological innovation. This discussion explored how utilities, developers, and technology providers are adapting to changing customer expectations while balancing execution, scalability, and long-term reliability.

Demand response is turning into full market participation. Our takeaways from Reuters GEF 2026 cover how aggregators, lower entry thresholds, DERMS orchestration and lessons from Australia are making virtual power plants a core tool for grid reliability in North America.

In a wide-ranging interview at the Reuters Global Energy Transition Forum, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright discussed the administration's approach to energy security, permitting reform, AI-driven electricity demand, nuclear power, and the role of domestic energy production in supporting long-term economic growth.

As electricity demand from AI, data centers, and electrification continues to rise, utilities are adopting an "all-of-the-above" generation strategy. The discussion explored the roles of natural gas, nuclear, renewables, battery storage, and emerging technologies in meeting future demand while maintaining grid reliability and affordability.

As EV adoption continues to grow, charging network operators are increasingly focused on the economics of delivering electricity rather than simply deploying more chargers. This discussion explored utility rates, battery storage, site development, and grid integration, highlighting the operational realities shaping the next phase of EV infrastructure.

Executives from Exelon, Duke Energy, E.ON, Siemens Energy, and Hitachi Energy discussed the growing challenges of powering an increasingly electrified economy. The panel explored affordability, AI-driven electricity demand, grid modernization, and the investments required to build a more reliable and resilient energy system.

Introducing "Podcast: The Challenges of a Growing Energy Demand, Join us as we explore hydrogen's role in driving the energy transition.

The cement industry accounts for roughly 7–8% of global CO₂ emissions, making it one of the most challenging—and critical—sectors to decarbonize. Unlike power generation, cement emissions arise not only from fuel combustion but also from process emissions during limestone calcination, which are unavoidable without carbon capture.

As the North American power sector enters 2026, one thing is clear: the distribution grid has become the frontline of the energy transition. Load growth is accelerating faster than many forecasts anticipated, reliability expectations are tightening, digital technologies are moving from pilots to platforms, and utilities are being asked to deliver all of it while maintaining affordability and resilience. Against this backdrop, DistribuTECH International 2026 (February 2–5, San Diego) arrives not merely as an industry gathering, but as a defining checkpoint for where grid modernization is headed next.
