What is AI Critical Infrastructure 2026
Critical infrastructure industries, including electricity grid operators and water providers, are at a pivotal stage in AI adoption. As demand grows alongside the expansion of data centres, leaders must balance operational efficiency, sustainability and resilience while overcoming fragmented data, regulatory complexity and ageing assets.
In the UK, 315 data centres are currently awaiting grid connections, representing an estimated 125GW of demand, compared with the grid’s current capacity of approximately 100GW.
This event brings strategic vision and practical execution together, exploring how AI can support the data centre build-out, renewable energy transition, water management, compliance and infrastructure resilience. Attendees will gain the insights needed to scale AI responsibly and deliver measurable value.
