As AI adoption, cloud computing, and digital transformation continue to drive unprecedented demand for data center capacity, access to reliable power has become one of the industry's most pressing challenges. Developers, utilities, investors, and policymakers are increasingly focused on solutions that can support growth while navigating evolving regulatory, financing, and infrastructure considerations.
Morgan Lewis is pleased to participate in PowerUp Data Centers – Infrastructure, taking place July 14–16, 2026, in Austin, Texas. The conference will bring together leaders from across the data center, energy, and infrastructure sectors to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with powering the next generation of digital infrastructure.
Representing Morgan Lewis at the conference will be Michael Espinoza, partner in New York; Mark A. Lazaroff, partner in Philadelphia; and Carson Haddow, associate in Boston. They will draw on the firm's multidisciplinary data center and energy capabilities to engage with industry stakeholders on issues at the intersection of data center development, power procurement, energy infrastructure, project financing, and regulatory strategy.
Conference sessions will explore topics such as grid interconnection reform, transmission development, onsite and behind-the-meter generation, emerging energy technologies, and innovative approaches to meeting the rapidly growing power needs of data centers. As operators seek scalable and resilient energy solutions, these discussions will be critical to shaping the future of the industry.
We look forward to connecting with clients, developers, investors, utilities, and other industry participants at the event and sharing insights on the legal and business considerations driving data center infrastructure development.
