DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nNorthern Virginia hosts more data centers than any other 
 location in the world\, and the industry’s growth here is accelerating. 
 Data centers use enormous amounts of energy\, challenging our utilities’
  ability to meet demand and comply with Virginia laws requiring a transiti
 on to zero-carbon energy. How can Virginia accommodate future data center 
 growth? What are the responsibilities of lawmakers\, utilities and the tec
 h industry to ensure the energy serving data centers is clean\, and that V
 irginia residents don’t bear the burden of this buildout? Ivy Main will 
 walk us through the energy demand projections\, Dominion Energy&#39;s plans\, 
 legislative solutions that have been proposed\, and the response of the da
 ta center industry.\n\nImage Credit: Server Room in CERN\, Florian Hirzing
