Perkins Coie Lunch: Data Center Energy & Transmission Needs

📅 June 10 | 12:00PM - 1:30PM PT
📍 Perkins Coie, Downtown Seattle

Hyperscaler load is reshaping regional energy planning, with forecasts pointing to the equivalent of two to four new Seattle-sized cities by 2030.

This session will explore what that means in practice—from generation and transmission decisions to the broader role of industry, policymakers, and clean energy developers in meeting this moment.

We’re also pleased to feature insights from industry leaders:
🔹 Greg Cullen, Senior Vice President, Energy Northwest
🔹 Ahlmahz Negash, Principal Resource Planning Analyst, Tacoma Public Utilities

Hear directly from TPU and Energy Northwest on what they’re seeing and how the path forward is taking shape.

Industrial symbiosis (IS), pioneered in Denmark, is a ground-breaking approach to industrial development where one business' wastes – energy, water, materials – become valuable resource inputs for others. IS offers rich economic, environmental and community benefits together. Over 200 PNW leaders have toured Denmark with CSI to see IS in action and to bring the benefits back home — as a result, innovative IS initiatives are now underway in over a dozen PNW communities.

On Friday, April 24, attendees will walk away with a better understanding of the IS network in the PNW, how Denmark is engaged in supporting these projects, and how to connect with both Danish and American partners at the upcoming Industrial Symbiosis Conference in Vancouver, Washington this June 28-30.

What is today’s data center development reality? AI demand is the headline, but the underlying data center story is power, permits and trusted partnerships.

On Wednesday, April 8th, this interactive lunch session will provide a practical look at the new data center development reality, including a viability checklist, the evolving risk map and what “de risking the stack” looks like as AI density and cooling requirements accelerate. Expect a grounded discussion on interconnection certainty, permitting, delivery constraints and the engineering pivot reshaping design and operations. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of the current state of the market, the technology and the constraints pushing data center innovation faster than ever before.

Key session highlights include:
• Why power and permission now drive data center schedule and value more than demand.
• A viability checklist: power, fiber, climate/geography, land/entitlements, delivery constraints and community license.
• The risk map: power access/timeline/cost-regulatory risk, supply chain, community permission and obsolescence/residual value.
• What AI density means for design: why the industry is pivoting to liquid cooling and how fast.
• Where the energy advantage is headed: onsite generation, microgrids, cogeneration and solar-plus-storage strategies.
• Why sustainability and decarbonization still matter to those making decisions.

Introductory Remarks:
• Camarin Madigan, Partner & Firmwide Co-Chair, Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure, Perkins Coie

Featured Speakers:
• Matt Allen, Chief Client Officer and EVP, McKinstry
• Aaron Seymour, Project Development Director for Data Center Innovations, McKinstry
• Brian Goldcrump, Associate Principal Engineer, McKinstry
