Securing a Reliable Power Future
Electrical infrastructure for AI-driven semiconductor manufacturing.
Power infrastructure is under structural pressure
AI-driven giga-facilities demand extreme load densities at the same time data centres compete for the same grid capacity, the same transformers, and the same switchgear.
Equipment lead times now stretch years - and the industry's 20 GW draw in 2024 is set to double by 2030, faster than the grid can be permitted and built.
- Competition with data centres for grid capacity and critical equipment drives transformer and switchgear shortages
- Power quality risks - voltage sags, harmonics, and transients - cause downtime worth millions per event
- Fabs are becoming quasi-utilities, shifting toward renewables, clean energy, and on-site generation including nuclear and microgrids
Power is no longer a background utility - it's the binding constraint on semiconductor capacity growth.

Power in Transition: From Efficiency to Self-Generation
The semiconductor industry drew 20 GW in 2024; at 12% annual growth that doubles by 2030 - faster than the grid can be permitted and built. Fabs are making power decisions now about future on-site generation, but in the short term millions of energy efficiency wins are needed.
Moderated by EPRI, this workshop showcases facility engineers, utilities, and supply chain experts sharing early successes in bridging the gap.
Electrical and Power Agenda
The first confirmed power presentations for 2026, selected by the independent Technical Advisory Committee. Power content runs across the full program - the Day 0 workshop, roundtables, and spotlight sessions - with further sessions announced as the agenda completes.

Why UltraFacility
The only place power is addressed in its full facility context.
- Curated by the people who run the fabs. Intel, GlobalFoundries, Samsung Austin Semiconductor and Micron shape the agenda around real facility challenges.
- 50+ non-commercial presentations, selected from 100+ abstracts by an independent committee. Data, not sales pitches.
- Power, in context. Addressed alongside UPW, HVAC, chemicals and construction - the systems that depend on it.
- Direct line to the specifiers. The one forum where power systems vendors meet the engineers specifying next-generation fab infrastructure.
Be in the room where the fab power future gets decided
UltraFacility 2026 expands electrical and power content across the whole conference - curated discussions on 16 September and core technical sessions on 17-18 September.
