Powering the Future: Navigating the Impact of AI Data Centers and Electrification While electric load growth in California has been low or flat, it is expected to grow over the coming decades due to electrification of transportation and buildings, growth of AI data centers, and a changing climate. This transition will require balancing expanded grid infrastructure and additional electric supplies with the need to ensure affordability, reliability, and clean energy goals. The Eighteenth Annual Lesley K. McAllister Symposium on Climate and Energy Law will bring together policymakers, industry practitioners, academics, and other experts to explore several aspects of this transition. Drivers and Scale of Load Growth: The main factors driving load growth in California, the role of AI data centers, how uncertainty affects forecasting and planning, and how large loads in other Western states affect California. Policy and Regulatory Solutions: Lessons learned from other states experiencing growth in large loads, innovative customer rates, large load tariffs, resource planning, grid infrastructure build out and cost, and system utilization. Innovation and Technology: Emerging technologies and strategies to manage and mitigate future electric demand, including load shifting, distributed energy generation and storage, and right-sizing all-electric loads. Join us for a robust and candid conversation about navigating the choices and tradeoffs ahead.
