Powering the growth of data centers
The challenge
Building the future
Our modern digital economy runs through data centers. The next generation of digital infrastructure – an interconnected network of facilities that enable AI, cloud and innovation – is the backbone of U.S. competitiveness.
Approach
Meeting technology growth with an energy strategy
ITI brought together members across the technology industry to build a policy agenda for more power, a stronger grid and continued data center growth.
-
Aligning industry around energy needs
ITI brought together companies across technology, data centers and energy to identify policies that can increase power supply, improve the grid and support continued investment.
-
Fast-tracking permitting
ITI supports reforms to move energy projects forward faster while maintaining strong environmental reviews and protections.
-
Making today’s grid more efficient and resilient
ITI released Powering Growth Now, showing how software, grid-enhancing technologies and other tools can increase grid capacity and reliability while new energy projects are built.
ITI’s Impact
ITI powers the policies behind technology growth
ITI has made the technology industry a leading voice on rising energy demand, connecting data center growth with the need for more power, stronger grids and faster permitting. These priorities are gaining attention from policymakers in the U.S. and around the world as governments work to meet growing energy needs while supporting technology investment.
