Agentic AI platform accelerates development of critical energy infrastructure
  • Posted on 20th April 2026 in by Phil Alsop

Thiri Shwesin Aung, founder and CEO of Nyxium, discusses how she and co-founder, Paul Seurin, have built an agentic AI platform that helps energy and infrastructure developers decide where projects are most likely to get approved and built, before months of time and millions in development costs are committed – set against a background where permitting and siting, not capital or technology, are increasingly determining what actually gets built as AI-driven data centre demand continues to increase.

Services set to define the data centre landscape
  • Posted on 30th March 2026 in by Phil Alsop

Phil Cullerton, VP Services EMEA at Vertiv, explains why services will define the future of the data centre. The future of the data centre is not just about who builds fastest, it is about who operates best. And in this evolving landscape of digital transformation / AI density, tightening regulation, stretched supply chains and rising expectations, digital infrastructure services are the differentiator. If you are an operator, the question is no longer whether to invest in services, it is whether you can afford not to.

Fire safety at scale: protecting modern data centre construction sites
  • Posted on 22nd March 2026 in by Phil Alsop

Aaron Velardi, head of North American development at Ramtech North America, explains that, as data centre construction across North America accelerates, projects are becoming larger, faster and more complex than ever before – and the consequences of getting fire safety wrong have never been higher. Traditional approaches, developed for early, smaller-scale facilities, are being stretched beyond their limits on today’s megasites. Aaron explores how evolving risks, updated NFPA guidance and technology-enabled temporary protection are redefining fire safety during data centre construction.

Collaboration to develop smaller data centres for the AI era
  • Posted on 12th March 2026 in by Phil Alsop

Ben Sooter, Director of Agentic AI Initiatives & Distributed AI Architecture at EPRI, and Bal Aujla, Director, Head of Advanced Research and Engineering, InfraPartners, discuss the collaboration between EPRI, Prologis, NVIDIA, and InfraPartners to study smaller-scale data centres designed for distributed inference. The collaborators will assess the deployment of micro data centres - ranging from 5 to 20 megawatts - at or near utility substations with available grid capacity that can be quickly set up. The goal is to bring inference capabilities - the process of generating real-time responses from trained models - closer to where data is generated and consumed, while making better use of underutilised infrastructure and reducing pressure on congested transmission systems.

AI - time for a rethink?
  • Posted on 3rd March 2026 in by Phil Alsop

Claire Keelan, UK MD at Onnec, is warning that the UK will fall short of its AI ambitions and data centre expansion targets, unless it tackles the growing workforce shortage by tapping into underused talent – particularly women and flexible workers. With AI demand forecast to drive a fivefold increase in UK data centre capacity by 2030, and increasing investment from major tech providers, Claire says the sector won’t keep up unless it modernises how it attracts, trains, and mobilises people.
