The US data center complex is building against speed-to-power mandates that require developers to get projects online as quickly as possible. Delays plugging into grid-connected power are forcing projects to invest in behind-the-meter (BTM) gas generation assets as they seek access to electricity.

S&P Global Energy expert Ben Levitt joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss the rise of behind-the-meter power projects connected to data centers and how these projects are reshaping investments in US electricity generation.

As data center projects become more visible across the US, they are having to manage more not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) concerns from community stakeholders and policymakers. These concerns often lead to delays, cancelations, and even state-wide moratoria that can thwart the ambition of AI innovators.

S&P Energy expert Dan Thompson joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss the evolving pace of data center development in the US and how builders are navigating stakeholder concerns.
