    Europe’s AI factories, data centre development and the vital role of dispatchable power

    As Europe accelerates its AI ambitions through a wave of new supercomputing data centres, one challenge looms large: power. Meeting the scale, speed, and resilience demands of AI workloads will require more than just grid connections. This is where dispatchable power — including microgrids and low-emission generation — becomes critical. Here we explore why on-demand, controllable energy is the foundation for Europe’s next gen of AI infrastructure.

    Renewable Energy and the Grid Inertia Challenge

    As we accelerate the shift to renewables, we face a critical challenge: declining grid inertia. Traditional power plants inherently stabilise our energy systems—but wind, solar, and battery storage operate differently. What does this mean for grid reliability, and what technologies can fill the gap? From synthetic inertia to microgrids, we explore the solutions that could keep the lights on in a decarbonised world.
