Nasli: Microgrids scale efficiently while bulk power faces 7-15 year delays
Adib Nasli · Frontier Forum: Future-proofing data center power infrastructure · Apr 7, 2025 · at 16:41
Adib Nasli discusses power infrastructure options for growing data center loads during a panel on future-proofing data center energy systems.
“Bulk power systems don't scale well, which is why you're talking about these seven to 15 year timelines. Microgrids scale very well, so they can really help that path occur in a very reliable, efficient, and I would say financially sound way that minimizes risk both from an execution risk technically And also from the business case on what the return on the assets need to look like.”
