Meeting energy challenges: grid integration, storage, self-generation?

Nov. 05, 2025
T8: KEYNOTE DATA CENTER
Energy & environmental efficiency
Energy efficiency remains a priority, and is gaining momentum with high-density and AI infrastructures. France is home to nuclear power, and renewable energies are seeking to make their mark. But energy prices fluctuate. How can data centers keep up with demand, maintain their margins and meet their environmental commitments?
 
- What is and will be the role of data centers in energy consumption?
- The current state of energy production: How can energy prices evolve?
- Data centers and energy grids: what role can they play in energy balance and the integration of renewable energies?
- A very American concept, is self-generation of energy transposable to France?
- What are the development avenues for more controlled energy consumption?
