The rapid, massive demand from AI-driven data centers is fundamentally reshaping the North American energy landscape, straining electric grids and accelerating the build-out of new power infrastructure.  Our conference, the Gas to Grid Infrastructure Summit 2026, addresses this challenge by convening utilities, midstream companies, and OEMs to collaboratively define the path forward.

We will detail what this new landscape looks like—from utility-scale generation and transmission strategies to the proliferation of behind-the-meter gas-fired power.

We explore why natural gas remains critical for continuous, reliable power and grid stability, serving as a transitional fuel that complements renewables.

We outline how the industry is responding through:

• integrated planning for site selection
• the rapid deployment of low-carbon gas and CCS solutions
• the technical advancements in rotating equipment, advanced cooling, and electrical gear required for the AI era.
