Andrii Garanin | The Hidden Infrastructure Bottleneck Behind AI: Power, Flexibility, and Financeable Compute
AI Infrastructure, Data Centers, Grid Flexibility, Energy Infrastructure, Project Finance
<p>This session will examine one of the most critical but under-discussed challenges behind AI growth: the power infrastructure required to scale AI. Andrii Garanin will explore why AI data centers are no longer just compute facilities but also complex energy infrastructure projects shaped by grid constraints, power availability, flexibility, and project finance. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience across large-scale energy assets, battery storage, gas-to-power systems, and high-density compute, he will explain why the next phase of AI deployment will depend on financeable, flexible, and grid-aware infrastructure.</p>
