Bring Your Own Power (BYOP): Financing On-Site and Behind-the-Meter Energy for Data Centers

Troutman Pepper Locke Partner Vaughn Morrison will moderate the panel, “Bring Your Own Power (BYOP): Financing On-Site and Behind-the-Meter Energy for Data Centers,” on Tuesday, October 28 from 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. ET. As power certainty becomes the most critical milestone in data center financing, the industry is increasingly turning to BYOP solutions. This panel examines the financing models behind self-supplied power – from bridge onsite generation to fully islanded projects – exploring tolling agreements, capital leases, and behind-the-meter generation as bankable structures across edge/inference sites to hyperscalers.
