Jackson Vo, President of Gridmatic Retail, discusses the pressures on Texas as a rapidly developing data centre hub, with operators asking the same urgent question: how can we secure reliable power while staying competitive on cost and advancing carbon-free goals? Jackson explains how Gridmatic, an AI-powered retail energy provider, is working with data centre customers like EdgeConneX to answer that question – by unlocking the hidden flexibility in large electrical loads.

Lee Myall, CEO of Neos Networks, outlines how, over the past decade, there’s been a huge amount of investment in last-mile fibre builds, but core fibre networks across the country have received much less attention. Without them, workloads cannot move between data centres, data cannot be trained, and investments stall. The UK has the ambition, the demand and the regional readiness to lead in AI, but, as Lee explains, if we don’t address fibre gaps, we risk losing out on one of the greatest economic opportunities of our generation.

Anna Rantala, Marketing Manager at BCS, discusses the company’s new branding – a refresh that is about showing the world the BCS that already exists - modern, dynamic, and human at its core. Anna explains how the new branding is the platform to grow into the next decade and ‘gives space to our people and culture, the part of BCS that clients always tell me makes the biggest difference. It might feel like a big change, but the truth is we’ve been this brand all along. We just weren’t showing it’.

Simon Harris, Director of Critical Infrastructure at BCS, discusses the role that legacy data centres have in supporting the development of AI, with inferencing seen as a major opportunity. Simon outlines the challenges of making legacy data centres ‘AI ready’, suggesting that many, if not all, such facilities, need to recognise the importance of refurbishment if they are not to miss out on not just the current AI boom, but also the ongoing, general digital transformation expansion.

Dr Aleksandr Donodin, based in the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AIPT), has received just one of 12 fellowship grants from The Royal Academy of Engineering to support his work examining fibre-optic networks to find solutions to the increasing power demands of data centres. Dr Donodin will be exploring the use of the networks and bringing together bismuth-doped fibre amplifiers which have tiny amounts of the metal bismuth added to them, and optical frequency combs which are used to measure and control light very accurately. It will be the first time this combination is explored in detail and if successful could cut power consumption in optical networks by 30–50% per bit. It will also enable O-band range of light wavelengths to reach transmission capacities beyond 200 terabytes per second.
