DCD>Connect London 2026 takes place on 16–17 September 2026 in London, United Kingdom, organised by DatacenterDynamics (DCD). DCD's flagship European event at the Business Design Centre, connecting the data centre ecosystem on sustainable, AI-ready digital infrastructure — including power, grid connection and energy strategy.
Why it matters for grid operators
Data centres have become one of the fastest-growing new loads on European grids, and the conversation at DCD>Connect has shifted from racks and cooling to megawatts and connection queues. For grid operators the relevant sessions are the ones on power procurement, grid connection timelines and how hyperscale campuses can behave as flexible loads rather than fixed ones. That is the same question our dynamic operating envelope work addresses from the network side: how much capacity is really available at a connection point, hour by hour, before anything is reinforced.
