Energy-Positive Sites: Turning Power into a Strategic Asset
Date & Time
Thursday, March 5, 2026, 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM
Description
Power is one of the largest and least predictable operating expenses for network infrastructure. This session explores how ISPs are designing energy-positive sites that combine renewable generation, energy storage, and intelligent power management to reduce operating costs and improve resilience. The discussion focuses on practical approaches that work for huts, towers, data centers, and remote facilities.
Panelists will share real-world considerations including site selection, incentives, interconnection challenges, and when selling surplus energy back to the grid makes financial sense. Attendees will leave with ideas to build more resilient infrastructure, grow margins through lower energy costs, and compete with a sustainability story that resonates with communities, regulators, and customers alike.
