🎙️ Episode 8 Title: Gridlocked Growth: Powering AI, Data Centers & What Comes Next

In Episode 8 of The Clean Energy Edge, host Russ Bates is joined by Peter Kelly, Managing Partner at Red Tree Engineering, to tackle the rapidly growing energy demands of AI and data centers—and what it means for the grid and generation mix.

From transmission bottlenecks to interconnection delays, Peter shares real-world insight from the front lines of project development and design. They discuss:

• Why power-hungry data centers are reshaping infrastructure planning

• The reality of grid constraints and temporary energy workarounds

• What a future-ready generation mix really looks like—including gas, batteries, and SMRs

• How developers and utilities can prepare for what’s coming next

If you're in energy, infrastructure, or site development—this one's for you.
