For large-scale infrastructure development, one question is becoming harder to postpone:
Where will the power come from?
During his recent Schwab Network interview, BaRupOn CEO Balaji Tammabattula described energy as the largest concern facing major projects:
βThe biggest of them all is energy. Thereβs not enough energy.β
His point was not simply that projects consume a lot of electricity.
It was that adding major new demand to already constrained infrastructure can create real concerns for the communities around those projects.
That changes the development conversation.
Power availability has to be considered earlier.
Developers need to think about the infrastructure required to support the operation, including dedicated generation and behind-the-meter approaches where appropriate.
And the community around the project needs to understand what that development means for them.
For companies planning large industrial projects, the takeaway is practical:
Do not wait until the project is underway to solve the energy strategy.
Power readiness belongs near the beginning of the plan.
