Clean energy deployment is accelerating, but the systems supporting it are under strain. Surging demand from AI-driven data centers, longer equipment lead times, and growing supply chain complexity are putting pressure on utilities and developers alike. Traditional planning and forecasting models are no longer enough.
This podcast explores why clean energy buildouts are slowing despite strong momentum and how procurement has become a critical lever for execution. As demand patterns shift and volatility increases, procurement teams are being pulled into earlier, more strategic roles across planning, contracting, and risk management.
Rather than focusing on cost alone, the conversation highlights how agility, flexibility, and resilience now define successful energy projects. From securing long-lead equipment to structuring contracts for uncertainty, procurement is emerging as a driver of speed, certainty, and scale.
What You’ll Hear:
- How AI-driven demand is rewriting energy forecasts
- Why equipment delays and supply constraints are reshaping project timelines
- How procurement can enable faster, more resilient clean energy buildouts
