Lightening the Load: Scaling Clean Solutions for Data Centers and Communities

We invite you to join an upcoming webinar about data centers to learn how investing in community clean energy such as solar and battery storage can meet data center energy needs and also provide benefits to local communities.

Across the United States, communities are facing difficult, high-stakes decisions about whether and how to host data centers. These projects are touted by the tech industry as significant financial opportunities, but pose serious infrastructure challenges — from increased electricity demand to grid reliability impacts.

To help local governments and communities navigate these complex trade-offs, we invite you to “Lightening the Load: Scaling Clean Solutions for Data Centers and Communities.”

📅 Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2025

🕒 Time: 2-3pm ET

💻 Location: Virtual (Zoom link provided upon registration)

This session will explore:

• How data center electricity demand affects local infrastructure and grid reliability

• Proven strategies for meeting data center energy needs sustainably

• Practical steps that local governments and communities can take to proactively address data center growth

The webinar will be recorded and sent to the registration list, so we encourage you to register even if you can’t attend live.

We hope you’ll join us for this important conversation.
