ISF Impact Series Webinar- Data Center Download: Sustainability & Clean Energy Strategies for Indiana’s AI Data Centers

Co-sponsored by the Institute for a Sustainable Future and the Hoosier Environmental Council.

Join us for a timely webinar exploring Indiana’s rising energy demands driven by data center growth. We’ll spotlight a new tool designed to estimate the climate pollution associated with these facilities, take a look at Google’s flexible demand model, and learn about the opportunities and challenges of powering data centers with clean energy in Indiana. Experts from the Regulatory Assistance Project will also share insights on how smarter regulatory processes can accelerate the transition to cleaner energy and controlling Hoosier electricity bills across the state.
