Jim Summers, CEO of GPC Infrastructure, will join a highly anticipated panel of industry leaders to address the most critical constraint facing modern infrastructure: powering the AI boom.

The Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2026 session, “Power First: The New Playbook for Delivering AI Data Centers,” will tackle how utility delays and grid congestion are forcing developers to completely rewrite traditional data center design.

Rather than relying purely on legacy utility models, the panel will explore the shift toward an integrated energy stack. Summers and fellow experts will discuss the coordination of:

• On-site power generation and combustion-free baseload technologies.
• Large-scale battery storage.
• Advanced, co-designed cooling architectures built for high-density AI workloads.

The discussion will focus on real-world application, exploring how projects are actively breaking ground despite severe grid limitations, and how these complex engineering strategies can become repeatable industry standards.
