In this episode, we sit down with Peter Hans Hirschboeck, founder and managing director of impactECI, to explore the rapidly evolving world of data centers and energy infrastructure. With a background in electrical engineering and years of experience leading energy projects at AWS, Peter shares invaluable insights on how the demand for AI computing power is reshaping the energy landscape.
We discuss:
- The massive growth of data centers and its impact on energy grids
- Why grid bottlenecks and interconnection queues are delaying projects
- How hyperscalers and AI companies are securing power for large-scale deployments
- The increasing role of nuclear, renewables, and behind-the-meter solutions
- How utilities, developers, and tech companies can better collaborate to solve infrastructure challenges
Peter also breaks down the current trends in power procurement, the importance of speed to deployment, and why grid reform is essential to meet future energy demands.
