Why every business needs an energy strategy

What the new landscape for data center development signals for the C&I sector

About

Electrification is driving load growth across the entire C&I sector, and competition is intensifying over everything from power equipment to interconnection to labor. Energy-intensive businesses without a deliberate power strategy aren’t just facing higher costs — they’re risking stalled projects, delayed timelines, and slimmer margins.

The mainstays of a successful energy strategy are shifting too. Managing cost and pathways to decarbonization still matter, but community sentiment and local resistance are becoming also important decision-making factors. For data center developers, this is already reality. For retail, healthcare, higher education, and manufacturing, it’s the early edge of the same shift.

In this Frontier Forum, Bloom Energy Chief Commercial Officer Aman Joshi joins Latitude Media’s Stephen Lacey to examine why a multipronged energy strategy has become a business imperative across power-intensive industries. Aman will trace what community response to data center development signals for other sectors and how businesses can evaluate on-site power solutions within a broader energy strategy.
