America’s digital future
runs on power.

The Digital Power Network advocates for the energy and infrastructure needed to meet the demands of AI, digital assets, data centers, and high-performance computing, while keeping electricity affordable and reliable for all.

Powering what
comes next.

Advocate

Working with policymakers and regulators to remove barriers to interconnection, permitting, and responsible infrastructure development.

Educate

Giving policymakers and stakeholders clear, accessible information on the energy challenges behind data center and digital asset infastructure growth.

Collaborate

Connecting data center operators, energy providers, policymakers, and communities to build an energy future that is affordable, reliable, and sustainable without holding back digital growth.

Our solution

Digital growth and a strong energy system don’t have to compete.

America’s digital infrastructure cannot scale without the right policies and investment. DPN works with policymakers, industry, energy stakeholders, and communities to advance the solutions needed to build, connect, and power what comes next.

OUR PRIORITIES

Policy Priorities

Championing the energy infrastructure needed to power America’s digital future.

PRIORITY One

Energy Access

As AI and digital asset infastructure demand strains the grid, faster interconnection and rewarded flexibility can power new compute without raising costs for other customers.

PRIORITY TWO

Ratepayer Protection & Community Investment

Data centers bring major investment to host communities. Fair cost allocation and visible reinvestment help ensure residents share the benefits, not the bills.

PRIORITY THREE

Environmental Stewardship

Credible, measurable progress on emissions, water, and equipment reuse builds public trust and lets compute infrastructure grow responsibly.

PRIORITY FOUR

Innovation & Manufacturing Leadership

As equipment lead times stretch, stronger domestic manufacturing and faster adoption of new technology keep America's compute buildout moving.

PRIORITY FIVE

Site-Specific Permitting

Clear zoning, coordinated reviews, and predictable timelines help compute facilities reach suitable sites faster, including reused industrial land, with community input from the start.

PRIORITY SIX

Compute Markets & Access

Compute is hard to compare and buy. Transparent markets and new member tools help buyers find the right capacity at the right price.

What's at Stake

The Grid Wasn't Built for What's Coming.

AI and high-density computing are creating new demands on America’s power infrastructure. Meeting that demand will require modernizing the grid, expanding generation, and building the transmission capacity to connect it all.

Demand Is Rapidly Outpacing Supply.

AI workloads, digital asset infastructure, and hyperscale expansion are adding electricity demand at a pace the grid hasn't seen in generations. Generation and transmission are not expanding on the same curve, and the gap widens every year.

America Needs More Power. Fast.

U.S. data center power demand is projected to more than double this decade. Without faster investment in generation and infrastructure, the gap between digital growth and available power will only widen.
