5 Reasons To Attend Bisnow's National DICE Construction, Design And Development East Event On Feb. 20

Data center demand is at an all-time high, with 5.3 gigawatts of new capacity under construction and an additional 22 GW needed to meet the growing needs of digital tools like artificial intelligence.

In Northern Virginia — also known as the “data center capital of the world” — power demand is projected to double in the next 13 years. This is due to the rapid growth of data center operations, making it challenging for electric utilities like Dominion Energy to build new transmission lines and upgrade existing infrastructure to handle this new capacity.

As a result, owners and operators are looking for new sites with reliable power, adopting renewable energy sources like wind and solar, and optimizing efficiency in daily operations to reduce energy consumption. 

Bisnow's National DICE Construction, Design and Development East event will explore trends and opportunities in this growing asset class. The event featuring data center industry leaders will be held at The Hyatt Regency Reston in Northern Virginia on Feb. 20.
