Panel - Navigating supply chain challenges in energizing data centers: strategies that work
On the BYOP side, developers face long‑lead gas‑turbine backlogs, constrained EPC capacity, and new metal/component tariffs that complicate budgets and timelines. On the grid‑connection side, multi‑year transformer lead times, transmission workforce/vendor delays, and ISO/TO upgrade slippage are pushing “time‑to‑power” years out.

How are manufacturers addressing turbine lead times, and how do you get ahead?
-
Which procurement or standardization strategies actually work?
-
How to navigate complexities while simultaneously building a DC and gas station?
-
Given transmission labor gaps and vendor shortages delaying required upgrades, where have labor surveys, union partnerships, and prefabrication measurably shortened schedules?
