Powering the AI Decade: Who Pays, Who Approves, Who Builds

The world's largest data center market has a power problem, and the people deciding what happens next will be in one room.

Dominion Energy reports about 70 GW of large-load requests waiting in its queue, nearly three times its all-time peak. Prince William County just ended most by-right data center approvals. Loudoun votes on a pause on October 20. And Virginia's data center tax break, worth an estimated $1.6 billion to $1.9 billion a year, is under review.

Powering the AI Decade is a nonpartisan half-day forum on who pays for the power, who approves the build and who finances it.
