Power Hour | Powering AI & Scaling Hardware: Lessons from Energy Tech Markets

​In this double-feature Power Hour, we are bringing you two conversations from the Energy Tech Markets event.

​First, we tackle the collision of AI, data centers, and energy infrastructure. Andy Rohr (Baker Tilly), Scott Craig (Latham & Watkins), Liang Downey (Microsoft), and Christopher Spears (Energy Innovation Capital), joined by Dev Motiram (Dragonfly Ventures), break down the unprecedented power demands of hyperscalers and how the industry is scrambling to build the generation and transmission capacity to keep up.

​Then, we pivot to the brutal reality of building first-of-kind manufacturing. William Ewing (NaviScale at Halliburton), Jay Vitha (MetOx International), Laureen Meroueh (Hertha Metals), and Deanna Zhang (Node Climate) share the real lessons of scaling hardware from pilot to commercial—from hanging massive pipes by hand to turning operators into overnight CVD scientists.
