Nikelle Meade will moderate, “Building Around the Grid: Financing and Permitting Power On and Off Site,” at the Bisnow Central Region Data Center Construction, Design & Development Conference on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 in Dallas, Texas.
This discussion will examine how developers are navigating interconnection delays through onsite generation, fuel logistics, hybrid utility arrangements, and offsite power procurement strategies. Panelists will explore the realities of permitting, financing, and integrating these solutions into project timelines, while addressing the municipal, environmental, and utility approvals that come with them.
Attendees will gain practical insight into what utilities are accommodating today, where alternative power solutions are proving effective, and how to evaluate whether these strategies solve power constraints or create additional development hurdles.
