This Expert Series paper examines how electrical engineering is evolving to meet the demands of AI-driven data centres.
It explores grid constraints, behind-the-meter generation, high-voltage architecture, resilient distribution networks and integrated MEP and ICT design. Drawing on current engineering research and international standards, it presents practical approaches for improving deployment certainty, operational resilience and long-term infrastructure performance while helping owners and operators make informed electrical design decisions in increasingly constrained energy markets.
