Power is rapidly becoming one of the defining constraints on AI infrastructure growth. While demand for compute can increase almost overnight, new power generation and transmission infrastructure can still take years to develop.In this episode, energy infrastructure expert Andrii Garanin explores why the electricity grid is struggling to keep pace with AI. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience across solar, wind, gas, storage and large-scale energy infrastructure, he discusses the growing disconnect between the speed of data centre development and the infrastructure required to power it.From interconnection queues and flexible demand to battery storage and grid-interactive data centres, Andrii examines how operators can rethink their relationship with power as AI drives increasingly intensive and unpredictable workloads.

AI is transforming the scale and complexity of data centre infrastructure. What were once individual data centre projects are becoming AI factories measured in hundreds of megawatts and even gigawatts, creating new challenges around power, GPUs, networking, cooling and talent.

In Episode 12 of Data Centre Uncut, Blaine Daws, Co-Founder and Solutions Director at Wanted, explores what it takes to build and scale the physical infrastructure behind AI. Having worked within the NVIDIA ecosystem and supported major European AI infrastructure projects, Blaine discusses how the industry has evolved alongside accelerated computing.

From sovereign AI and gigawatt-scale campuses to supply chain constraints and specialist talent shortages, Blaine examines why successful AI infrastructure requires more than capital. He also explores the growing role of liquid cooling and automation as AI factories continue to scale.

AI is driving unprecedented demand for computing power, creating new challenges for data centre operators tasked with managing increasingly dense infrastructure. As thermal limitations become a critical constraint, liquid cooling is moving from an emerging technology to a key consideration for the next generation of data centres.

In Episode 11 of Data Centre Uncut, Aida Elbouanani, Business Development Director for Middle East, Turkey and Africa at Castrol, explores how thermal management is evolving to support AI infrastructure. Drawing on her technical and commercial experience, Aida discusses Castrol’s move into data centre cooling, the role of direct-to-chip and immersion technologies and why industry collaboration is essential for scaling deployment.

Data centres have moved from operating quietly in the background to becoming a near-daily topic across mainstream media. As AI drives investment and infrastructure growth, the industry is facing greater scrutiny around energy, water, development and its impact on local communities.

In Episode 10 of Data Centre Uncut, Giuseppe Caltabiano, VP of Marketing at AVK, explores why the data centre industry needs to take greater control of its public narrative. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience across energy, financial services, software, data centres and AI infrastructure, Giuseppe discusses the role marketers can play in explaining a complex industry to a much wider audience.

From building a collective industry voice and addressing genuine public concerns to giving senior marketers a seat at the decision-making table, Giuseppe explores what needs to change as data centres become increasingly visible

On Episode 9 of the Data Centre Podcast join Tricia Arneson, founding member and Chief Operating Officer of Montera Infrastructure, for a wide-ranging conversation on AI, infrastructure development, operations, skills and the future of the data centre industry.

Montera Infrastructure had an unusual opportunity when it launched: it could build its technology, processes and systems from the ground up without legacy technical debt.

For Tricia, one of the most exciting aspects of the data centre industry is its position at the centre of technological change.

AI may dominate today's conversation, but data centres also support the wider digital services people depend on every day, from connected devices and email to autonomous vehicles and cloud applications.

Tricia believes organisations should therefore look beyond implementing AI as a standalone tool and consider how it can support broader business transformation, workflows and processes.

AI is transforming digital infrastructure faster than ever before, but the biggest challenge isn't compute, it's power.

As hyperscalers race to deploy AI at unprecedented scale, the energy sector is under pressure to deliver reliable, sustainable power faster than the grid was ever designed to accommodate.

In this episode of the Data Centre Podcast, host Ella Wilkinson speaks with Ishan Jaithwa, VP of Data Centres & Utilities at Cypress Creek Renewables, about the future of AI infrastructure, grid capacity, renewable energy and why collaboration across the entire ecosystem will determine who succeeds in the AI era.

AI is reshaping the data centre industry at a pace few could have predicted. As power demands soar and deployment timelines shrink, operators face a new challenge: how do you build the infrastructure of tomorrow while planning for a future that keeps changing?

In this episode of the Data Centre Podcast, host Ella Wilkinson sits down with Chris Coward, COO of BCS Consulting, to discuss how the industry is adapting to the AI era.

Drawing on more than 15 years in the sector, Chris shares his perspective on designing for uncertainty, accelerating delivery, developing talent and changing perceptions of data centres as critical national infrastructure.

Is your data centre power infrastructure ready for AI, or just for today's workloads?

Gerrit Barnard, Director of Sales EMEA at C&D Technologies, joins guest host Matt High to discuss how AI is transforming power requirements, why resilience now spans entire infrastructure ecosystems rather than individual sites, and why designing for uncertainty is the only future-proof strategy.

Get set for a grounded, technical conversation about what operators need to prioritise now.

Liquid cooling has moved past the pilot stage, but does the rest of the industry understand what it's maintaining? In this episode, host Ben Craske sits down with Nick Barrett, Data Centre OEM Liaison EMEA at Castrol, to discuss thermal management, liquid cooling deployment and scaling high-density AI infrastructure.

Nick explains why education is as critical as engineering, why cooling fluids need planning from day one and what megawatt racks mean for the future of data centre design.

Does the data centre industry have a talent problem, and has it been casting its net widely enough to solve it?

Charlotte Berry-Selwood, Chief Delivery Officer at AVK and co-founder of the Forum for Women in Data Centres, joins host Ella Wilkinson to discuss engineering leadership, diversity as a commercial strategy and what it will take to attract the next generation into digital infrastructure.
